Rear Swaybar Fitting

Today I fitted a rear Whiteline swaybar to my r32 gts-t

Now I'm not sure I have got the link kit right.. I followed the instructions which shows how to place the link kit, but I have a feeling it may be wrong.

In the instructions it says (from right to left).. bolt -> small washer -> SWAYBAR -> link -> large washer -> end nut ... But I have fitted it up this way, and as you can see the link is on quite a lean (on both sides)

It looks like the link might fit better on the other side of the swaybar (e.g. from right to left end nut -> large washer -> link -> SWAYBAR ->etc, but were reluctant to go against the instructions.

Which way should it be?

Swapped the sides this morning.. just didn't look right as it was..

The links sit much closer to vertical now, which is the way it looks it should be.

Also attached for interest showing thickness of standard bar vs whiteline bar

Hey man i just installed mine and it seems to be hitting the drive shaft on heavy cornering.. can you put up a picture of the area of your swaybar and diff/drive shaft?

having a bit of trouble with my selby one i just bought. followed the instructions to the letter, i may have missed something.

i noticed you also have quite alot of thread underneath in this picture post-1332-1237108123_thumb.jpg does this mean your swaybar actually comes behind the section where the drive shaft bolts onto the diff?

thanks

The link goes on the outside of the swaybar not the inside.

As you lengthen and shorten the links it rotates the dip in the swaybar where it clears the exhaust. If you have the links too long the dip will hit on the drive shaft flange.

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
