View Full Version : Front swaybar image

Does anyone have an image of the Gen3 front swaybar installed? Specifically the connection at the swaybar ends. I put it in, but the spacer I have for the bolt that connects to the swaybar seems much too long. It will connect, but the rod-end is pushed to the outside a lot by the spacer, on both sides. I would have expected the rod-ends to be vertical.

Thanks

This is my Gen 3 from several years ago. Two caveats: First, the suspension is hanging here (chassis on the lift, obviously) which affects the rod ends. They're close to vertical when it's at ride height. Second, FF may be supplying a different swaybar now. I recall some other pictures and they looked slightly different. So the bolt length and spacers on mine may not be the latest.

Hmmm, that's roughly what mine is (in the air also). My puny brain was telling me it wouldn't be better with the weight of the car on it, but if it straightens out at that point then I'm OK. I would have expected some angle front-to-back, but inside-to-outside I thought it would always be vertical.

Thanks. I'll leave it as is for now. Sounds like it will be good.
