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.

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
