Rear Swaybar Fitting


Recommended Posts

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.
