WOE is me, whiteline swaybar and ripped subframe

[Chi]

dont accept any less than +10 tensile strenght when it comes to sussy bolts , people

lol.

I agree with ben on this from experience

God damn bolt snapped inside the hole (god damn wyn)

and this time when you get the sway bar put back on, make sure it's the right way round (otherwise it will definitely rattle and hit your exhaust pipe).

i've experienced this with my ex civic vtir coupe.

NEWS!!!
the shop has agreed to repair the subframe tear out at no cost.

The kit did not come with the heavy duty bracket and brace as standard,
and they were unaware of the problem (hence the stock bracket was used)
I'm going to order the ASR brace.

my car feels like sloppy p00 without the swaybar

BY THE WAY, the whiteline swaybar was only 18mm!!!
(stock is 16mm)

[bennjamin]

good to hear. I had a 18mm "upgrade" bar from whiteline (using hte stock mounts too) and it tore out the U clip...luckily not the subframe.

Glad they are fixing it for you.

I am surprised hearing that even the 18mm can do that much damage. With the U clips did they also supply reinforcement from the back as well?

[jdm_kid]

how much was the damage ?

[destrukshn]

how much is the asr re-o kit?

If you are talking without the/a sway and in US dollars then you are getting close.

Thanks for correcting me - you are right. Was thinking of something else.

What this basically balls down to is that Whiteline NEEDS to have a look et their mounting on these bars and maybe do a re design.

Always said if there was a flat plate on the back side of the bolts that was like a giant washer with 2 holes that line up with the mounting holes to give that little bit of extra support it would mean that the bolts couldn't chew the actual metal of the sub frame.

We wait and see what Whiteline do as this is getting to become far to common a problem.
