Hiya, just to start I've scoured the net for images and forum posts with the same or similar question/situation as mine but had no success :thumbdwn: which is why I'm here.

I have a pair of DC2R LCAs in the EG (the ones which take the eye joint sussy, not the fork types) and am trying to fit the DC2R sway bar to it. The only problem is, I have it sitting correctly on the D brackets, and the holes on the sway bar end links line up to those on the LCAs......but something seems off. They sit BEHIND the LCAs if you're looking at it from the ass of the car. If it's confusing, check out the untitled image attachment for something that makes a bit more sense. NOTE: Dotted lines denote the endlink sitting on the inside of the LCA between the two walls.

Should the endlinks sit in between the two walls of the LCA? Or should they sit BEHIND?

Also, the 2nd image LCARear shows my type of LCAs, which is the first one. Yes, I have ITR coilovers for anyone who wanted to know why I'm running DC2R LCAs :thumbsup:

Anyway, any help would be awesome.

Cheers,
Nick

when you hook up the end links onto the LCA's make sure the car is level and wheels at their normal resting positions as per on the road ie put car on 4 post hoist or on car ramps or you'll have fun and games attaching the second end link onto the LCA.

Yeh, that was half the challenge...I had to let the car all the way down to eliminate any binding and pre load on the swaybar and sussy...I didn't have ramps or any of the other hardware so I manage to crawl under a lowered car with my face against the under carriage to tighten everything back up to torque spec lol backyard fix ftw with an eyefull of undercarriage crud argh
