Default sway-bar issues

Is anyone else having this problem? The endlink is grinding against the adapter kit for my progress bar.

Can you fit that u-bolt that's on the adapter, in behind the mount for the knuckle? If so, it may be a better deflection angle for the connector.

I tried that but it didn't fit quite right it pitches the mounting point way up at a weird angle. I'm positive I have the bar right side up so its gotta be the bracket.

I would have to agree with you. Have you tried contacting Progress? Maybe they sent you something incorrectly in the kit. Its not uncommon.

try cutting some of the threads off on that ubolt. it's too long, then reposition it.

edit: just looked, but your bar seem to be shorter and less bends, but further from the muffler (mine hit the muffler)



by grey (pics not mine, but look the same as mine (except mine is EX, so did not need the adaptor)

drat... I was interested in the outcome of this one... Oh, well, if he does not come back, it was interesting enough to try to find out what could have been gone wrong...
