Default mugen axle hitting swaybar link. bad? are there any kind of sway bars that doesnt stick out like thi









you see how the axleback is touching the sway bar link? can this affect the sway bar sooner or later? will it break something off?

are there any sway bars that doesnt curve up like that? or are they mostly like that?

That do not look like a axles too me. It look like it hitting the exhaust pipe. Try to push up the exhaust pipe up more, Cause it seen their a lot space between the chassic and the pipe.

The sway bar is upside down. Remove, flip, reinstall, no more problems.

Yup, upside down. Unbolt it from the brackets and endlinks. Rotate the bar 180 degrees, and bolt everything back.

done! took me nearly an hour. my exhaust still sounds like its running w/o a cat. im not sure if its normal. cause i hear noises coming out of the end of the exhaust where it connects to the midpipe. does anyone know if i can put more than one gasket in between the axle and the midpipe?
