I just got done installing my USDM ITR rear sway bar on. everything went OKAY.....untill i got to the driver side end link.....the bolt wont go through and link up with the welded nut on the other side. i dont know how to get them to line up....i tried to put the car down, raise one side, raise both side, raise the other side....its just not lining up....here a pick if someone can help!



Not lining up

 

something looks bent to me

 

i dont think its bent, cause the bracket thingy looks parallel to each other, and the sway is okay....dont think the bolts bent....but i dont know! i dont want to take it out.

 

I believe you need to buy some other hardware to make it fit. I read it here on H-T and i belive it was called something like BBK kit. I'm sure you can buy it at home depot but there is other hardware to make it fit.

 

looks like you just need to move the sway bar over a bit to the driver side

 

the sway looks bent out to the left to me if you push it towards the passenger side, it woll fit.

 

i cant just push it.....shold i loosen all the other bolts maybe? and then try? i had the hardware kit....the spacers and plate thingy! but i just dont know why its not fitting....ill loosen everything up and see

 

Can you take a pic a little farther away? get more of the swaybar in the pic. I think something is wrong with it.

 

losen the bolt in the lca and pull the swing arm outward and hammer it in.

 

i just gave me camera to my friend to load pics of his car at his house....man this sucks....so loosen the lower control connector thingy....not the whole arm right?

do the swaybar bolt first, then the lca bolt..

 

loosen the 4 bolts circled in red
and move the whole swaybar over so that the endlink doesn't have to be crooked

You tell 'em Big Rand. That would have been my first suggestion as well.

Mine has the issue where it won't perfectly line up when the suspension is at full drooop. It's not a problem when I have the Tein's installed, but it gets troublesome at times if I have the ITR suspension in.

 

i did put the sway on first, then the passenget side LCA and now the driver side LCA wont go in....im gonna loosen them and try to shift it....and then if that doesnt work i will jack the LCA up....i just woek up!

 

use a phillips screw driver and it through the other side, using it as a lead, lining up the sway and hole... maybe that would help

 

Hey noobs, Take a good look. He mounted the swaybar upside down. Took you guys forever to figure that out


As for the original poster: Just flip the bar around man and your all set!
