Default sliding swaybar???

i have a 00 civic coupe. rear suspension setup: SRR LCA, Tokiko illumina coil overs, polyurethane bushings, ASR brace, Skunk works 22mm sway w/ greaseable sway bar D links & stock SI end links.

Question... Installed the asr brace & sway bar a few days ago, and for some reason it looks like the swaybar has shifted to the driverside.. Looks like almost hitting the shock assembly.. leaving a 2" space on the other side. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Is the swaybar supposed to slide side to side?

Did you retorque everything with the wheels compressed or at full droop?

If you didn't compress the wheels to normal ride height and rock everything around (especially the endlinks, they like to bind), then your swaybar probably has some wicked preload.

The sway bar shouldn't shift over unless the endlinks are bent, or the bolts aren't tight, which might cause it to shift.

Yep, jack your car up REAL high, slide a cinderblock under each rear wheel, and go to work.
