Default sway bar on a 96 hatch

okay, me and my buddy, recently did an sway bar set up on his 96 hatch, we picked it up from pnp off 92-95 si hatch, the front sway and trailing arms, plans were to have it bolt up like normal, as in tucked under frame but shitz, it didnt turn out that way got pictures look @ em, and tell me what the fizzles wrong.. ahem, the shift linkage rubs the sway bar and makes it difficult to shift into gear.. so what next?

PS. we used the search button under sway bar, and read that the 92-95 front sway bars fit onto 96-98 etc civics, but seems it doesnt.

Instead of having the endlink mount from the bar down to the LCA, have it mount from the bar up to the LCA.

LOL! I didn't want to say anything because I thought he was joking! ROFL!

Dude, you installed your **** upside down. Perhaps that's why it's not fitting properly, lol.

That should cure your problems...with the swaybar. I'm not sure if your brain is salvageable
