  View original topic: Help! Did I just put my sway bar in upside down? SOLVED

Just did complete front end rebuild and now the steering box connecting shaft is rubbing the sway bar when I turn the wheels. Does the sway bar curve up or down? :roll: the mounts are loose in the pics and that's how I discovered where the noise was coming from.

1983.5 Westy with 21mm sway bar





Thanks guys!

My sway bar dips down on my 87 tin top.

That's what I was afraid Someone would say. Getting those drop links in were a huge PIA. It goes in for alignment tomorrow so I guess there's still time. Thanks for your help!

I found that if I warmed the drop link bushings with a paint stripper heat gun that they were more pliable and easier to slide on....
