Whiteline swaybar rubbing

[andy_mac]

Anybody have this problem with their front sway? Sure I could just set it to the hard setting but wanted to try it on the softer one first. Untill the rear turns up.
Or have i just potentially done something dumb as and installed it wrong?

is it this way up?
Also the hole closest to the fsb body mount is the stiffest as the lever ratio is higher.

There is a similar post floating around?

Maybe you should contact the previous poster person and compare notes?
They seem to be reporting a similar problem?

Yea they're the right way up.
Hadn't seen that one actually. Seems to be the same issue. Short of shortning the endlinks right down I can't see how it'd ever fit.

I had a set before I went Shockworks, fitted fine on soft, never ran hard...
Maybe it's just a droop thing on stands, get it on ramps or get yer hand up there on the ground and take a pic/s.

Been considering some shockworks, just not sure on continued support for the next 5 or so years when replacement parts are needed. And the need for certs.
I can hear it touch in certain situations every now and again which is what got me looking for it. Those pictures aren't up on ramps or stands. Thats just how close its sitting with the wheels perfectly straight on relatively level ground.

Gave up trying to work out why its rubbing. Moved it to the stiffer hole and she's clearing the tie rod fine now.

Another dumb question. With the lateral gold clamps are you supposed to put them hard up against the bush or give it a bit of space? Surely it would start wearing out the side of the bush if its constantly tight up against it?

I put my lateral clamps just against the rubbers with some silicone grease between the clamps and the rubber.

Sweet, i'll give that a try then. Currently have them set with a few mm gap

Ended up contacting Whiteline directly, showed them the same pictures I have here, who without hesitation sent a new bar out to me.
New bar definately looks slightly different even though the part number is the same, guessing there has been a product revision at some point recently since even the bolt hole sizes are 1-2mm smaller with the new bar, along with a much longer reach, mildly different bend angles and different style lateral clamps.

All in all, happy with this turnout, every company has their stuff ups from time to time and they've handled it well.

Wow great result
