Angry Sway Bar rubbing TA rear end cover!!

After I got my 410s in I noticed that the sway bar was touching the rear end cover. I took it off because I could not stand the noise it made every time I went over a bump. Should I just buy a larger one? If so than where and what size do I get. I am cluless and very upset.

I swapped out both my front and rear sway bars, I installed the rear bar 180 degrees out, that is the bend in the middle of the bar was pointing up towards the differential, and when the car was on the ground, it rubbed.

I turned the bar 180 degrees, that is the hole (in the sway bar)that was on the left side end link, was now on the right, and the bend in the bar pointed downwards. That eliminated the rubbing problem for me.

Good luck.

Wouldnt that mess up the geometry??

AS stated above that seems like it would mess up the way that the car handles. Did you notice a difference in handling?? I see you live in Poway Steve. I live in ESco. Do you ever go to the Carlsbad track or the one at Qualcomm???

MistaZ;

I have never taken my car to the track, nor have I visited there, I hang around with a group called "Southern California Rebels" or "SoCal", we meet up now and then at "Fry's electronics.

The members post alot on:
