addco rear sway bar issue
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 8:25 AM
I installed my addco rear today but im having a problem with the way the bushings are seated. they are all crooked looking and the nipples of the top 2 did not go into the hole as its to small anyone else have this issue? also both are angled in a little bit at the bottom. what went wrong?

Is it upside down?

hmmm that is very odd... one thing i noticed is that you should angle the L bracket just a tad but doing that isnt going to fix that weird issue.

here's a pic of mine, maybe you have something backwards. perhaps the bar as tinkles said...

Change the brackets around so that the long part of the "L" is horizontal.

From the pics I have seen now I think I might have to turn the L bracket. But the bolts did not fit in that way. The pre drilled hole was to small. For now u think I will try drilling the hole bigger and turning the L bracket. Thanks all. Any more input will be good too.

looks like you have the bolt to the axle thru the wrong hole.

Yea, looking between Brad's and your pic, you have the "L" brackets on wrong/upside down.

well blow me down, i did not even notice that.

one thing though guys... my bracket is custom. it was made so that i could also use the tie bar.

looks like the bar is "upside down" to me.

Drill out the hole on the axle a lil bigger and flip the l braket, that should fix it. I remember having to do that to mine and my hommies. Hopes that helped

Finally got around to it. Turning the bracket solved it. Addco must have put the wrong holes in the wrong spots
