i was just changing my suspension and i noticed that my itr sway bar was rubbing the abs bracket that connects on the LCA. it created a small dent on both the bracket and the sway bar.

am i the only one who has this problem?

i was thinking of adding another backing plate to space the bar further back.

redrill the holes on the abs bracket them selfs and adjust them away from the bar if possible

Or just remove the ABS bracket and ziptie the lines to the swaybar.

seems good to me. ive heard some peeps on this board have been doing this to avoid the problem your having.

My ABS lines are firmly attached to the mounting points and do not appear to rub. I'll have a closer look tonight to be sure.

but when you jack up the car, the LCA moves pretty far away from the sway bar.

I never really looked under there since I installed it over a year ago. I will check it out when I get home.

GSRrR

bump, i know theres more of you with the itr bar

GSRrR

just flip that thing upside down, and put and spacer in since its goin the opposite direction.

Oh crap, I just looked and mine and they are rubbing on my car too. Anybody have any good suggestions yet?

I don't really like the idea of flipping the ABS bracket down, it would put the wire closer to the ground, and it would not have the protection of being snug up against the LCA (it would hang down exposed, could possibly catch on something).

possible just to put it on upside down?

.RJ

flip the bracket holding the brake line on upside down.. .the brake line will sit lower now.

Aaron M

is this a serious problem?

doesn't look like a big deal to me. that's not going to puncture your abs line or affect anything that much. if you're really concerned about it just unbolt it and zip tie it on the lca a little lower down.
for zip ties

I actually noticed the same problem on my set up. Most people that do this mod probably have the same problem, they just haven't noticed it yet. I first noticed the problem when I was installing my Benen lower tie and I saw some paint rubbed off the bottom inside of the swaybar. I dremeled some material off the ABS bracket, that helped some, but I think it still rubs. So next step is either to remove the bracket, put some spacers on the swaybar mounting bracket, or to just live with it. But I haven't decided yet, it's just so damn hot now to work on my car

VTECorona

upside down doesnt work? it looks like it'll make it sit perfectly low enough

ragejed

umm, take off the bolt..and use zipties. thats what im doin

yet another reason why i opted to pay a little more cash and go comptech sway/tie combo

Aaron M

i still dont see what the big deal is.

this isnt something i would worry over.

but yea, next time im under my car again, ill flip the bracket.
