Rear Sway Bar Fit Problem

[ti2l]

hey guys i just fitted front and rear whiteline sway bars.

front are perfect, after a bi of stuffing around to get bushes in but having problems with the rear.

i have very little clerance between my tail shaft and the bar.

anyone else experienced this???

these are fitted on a r32 gtst

thanks

Pix please. How far? Think about what directions the bar and shafts can move in and you should be able to get an idea of if they're likely to touch.

FWIW i had to grind off the ends for my white line front sway bar as it just touched my driveshafts (GTR)

you can push the bar to the side slightly (i'm assuming it's the bit that goes up over the exhaust as mine was a bit tight too). It will likely mean that the links aren't square to the bar but that isn't as important as maintaining clearance to the diff/tailshaft flange.

yeah i have slid it across but still doesnt get much clearance hey. front is perfect though. will post pics soon.

I had this problem aswell. Although mine we treid to adjust the links but to no avail. Ended up sending it back, and getting a new one. Guess that could be an option, or maybe play around with the links a bit and see if it will budge just that little bit more. Good luck.

yeah i actually did send it back but the new one doesnt seem much better hey.

tried to upload pics but didnt load. will try again later.

how did your second bar fit? how much clearance do you have between your tail shaft??

I can fix it easily. Common problem, Nissan have 2 rear crossmembers they use on R32s.. I don't know the reasons why, and they is no telling which models have it.... I can supply the correct rear sway bars if anyone requires them.

will you exchange for the one i have as it is brand new for one that fits??

Eventually you may have to take it back to where you bought it and ask for a refund as it doesn't fit.

But before that, can you please explain the problem in a little more detail. Nissan seemed to have a habit of using different subframes for no logical reason that I have found. Maybe line the standard bar up with the Whiteline bar and tell me where they are different, measurements are always a help.

As for loading pictures, I load them into my SAU gallery and the nlink to them in the thread.
