Default Traction Bar hitting my oil pan b18c in eh2 HELP!!

I have a 1992 eh2 with a jdm type R bottom end in it. and i went to install my radius arms for my traction bar today and it is hitting my oil pan, any suggestions.

-I dont know what kind of traction bar it is, it came with the car, and it did not come with the brackets to mount it to the LCA, so i bought some clevis brackets from chassis shop. Here are some pics. Let me know what u guys think.

Find the thread that talks about traction bar geometry, it looks like that bar has them too far in towards the middle and will cause issues with your pan and really being functional.

I'm going to have to agree with Dave.
They are way to far in on the front, making them far less effective and obviously a pain.
Probably the reason why the previous owner left them off....


is that road kill left overs all over your pan???

Move the clevis to the shock fork bolt.
