front or rear????

rear fitted on mine, but mine was a whiteline type r one

as long as you have all the parts incl. bushes, it should fit...

it is rear sway bar

i got all bushes and bolts.

Sounds like the mechanic could not work out how to fit it...

Or you require the lower control arms to suit this swaybar, for it to fit properly...

here is what mine looked like,

i have DA6 rear LCA's though.

maybe the LCA's are the problem?

Yea I say its the LCA as well.

Cant confirm but im pretty sure you will need the EG6/ITR LCA to fit it. Tink, those DA6? They look very very similar to ITR/EG6 from what I can see. Are they the same?

they are 1990 Xsi rear LCA's

tehy have slightly more "wheel rate" than the DC2 ones, but i dont care...

escape27 -

just foud this pic, which shows the Whiteline rear sway abr on a GSi

so it does fit the cast rear LCA's

DA6 LCA vs DC2 (all JDM)

i installed itr LCA and itr suspention on my car

is it different between jdm itr rear sway bar and audm itr sway bar?

**tinkerbell** · 07-11-2005 03:49 PM

oh, then it should fit fine

can you put it on yourself?

*installation is the reverse of removal*

but make sure you tighten all the bolts with the car flat on the ground, not jacked up...
