very difficult angle of the tie bar man... the sway bar mounting points seem to have a lot of stress put on them for some reason... it just doesnt look right mate

did you install these yourself? if not then take it back to the person who put it on

has the car had an impact of some sort?

[Limbo]

looks like there is alot of stress on the sway.
Try taking it out and refitting it.

The reason that the bushes are cracked is that youve tightened them too much. The middle holders ar supose to have some movement. when you corner hard. Try backing off it abit and don't over tighten the 2 middle ones.
Rem they come cut in the first place!

I'm not sure why your hitting mine does not hit and i've put mine in and out 2 times now. Try turning the bar the otherwar round? i've seen it work for some

on pic 4 - Doesn't look cracked to me.

Its the slit in the D bush so that they can put in around the bar.

^^^Yeah otherwise you can't get in on in the first place.

[bennjamin]

lol. Looks the same as when installed to me :)

As said the bush is split to install , and the endlinks will "bend" on the bush like that

You can make it LESS slanted , by putting the endlinks on the less stiff hole on the swaybar.
BTW welcome to last year
:P

hope u changed the bolts that were supplied by whiteline to high tensile ones.

[BlitZ]

your tie bar is bent?
best is to bring it back to whiteline and ask them.. if its faulty that will replace it..
unless its installed incorrectly and they could atleast advise you..?

[.::F[L]Y::.]

[bennjamin]

Simon ~ atleast i reused the stock lower endlink bolts :) Whitleine still has alot to answer for...

[fatboyz39]

[tRipitaka]

[jdm_kid]

correct
if you installed it you should know this.

[e240]

Actually, your mounting looks wierd, but it could be the angle.
Are the connecting eye bolts on the correct side of the sway bar?

Here's a couple of pics of my setup.

[spetz]

Didn't read all the posts
But the bushes aren't cracked
They are cut there on purpose so they can fit them over the swaybar

Brand new ones come like that

[fatboyz39]

its either that who installed them didn't do it properly or its just one of those F%^k up bars lol. But from the looks of it, its ben under alot of stress, i reckon its installed wrong? Mayb its upside down?

[BlitZ]

i think your one is different.. the whiteline one is suppose to connect on the other side of the plates....

show us your mounting plate too, might provide some more clues.

agree with whoever said change to the other holes on the end link :thumbsup:

i checked all my bolts (22m bar on da9) the other day and found that one side was very very loose indeed, despite being installed tight. its definately worth checking and rechecking every bolt. incidently i snapped one of the whiteline ones whilst tightening it. they are pussy bolts

Nope, this is a Whiteline kit and has been installed correctly

[destrukshn]
