Front Whiteline Swaybar fouling on 3.0R install. pointers?

Postby neilgero » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:15 pm

Hey guys,

im in need of some advice from people who have installed a whiteline swaybar on the 3.0R.

On my attempt to install the swaybar this evening, the whiteline bar was a b!tch to fit, i had to remove the bolts of the extractors on one side to even get the bar in place and after all that there is no space left for the bushes and the bar itself is fouls on the extractors. inspection of the stock bar has 2 kinks to clear the extractors whereas the whiteline one is a straight piece.

was wondering if anyone had any pointers on how, if possible to make the mother fker fit. any help would be appreciated.

neil :)

You might have better luck selling it and buying another one.

Neil I even told you when I met you that the front swaybar wouldn't be interchangable to a turbo model because you wanted to buy parts that would fit a turbo if you decided to upgrade. :(
