Raynman1989 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I just fitted a 22mm whiteline front Sway bar and endlinks and to my untrained eye the different angle between the link and bar looks terrible (it's the same on both sides). The car also has lowering springs which of course make the angle worse. Is it going to be an issue? Surely it will wear the bushes out considerably faster at the very least?

nvu Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Angle looks bad. Get some more washers on the upper bolt to space it back in line. you might need a longer upper bolt. I did something like this when I still had the narrow wagon swaybar with the wider sedan control arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Bushings look like they are shot as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronemus Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 You'd do better with links using pillow balls, for example Whiteline's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking of doing that but it wouldn't totally fix the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem so but these should work since whiteline make this bar and links for this car. Seems they've got their measurements wrong?

They don’t look very lowered judging by the control arm in the pic you provided - assuming this is sitting on the ground and not jacked up in the air. If that is a pic of it jacked up with the wheel in the air can you post a pic of the car sitting on the ground the way it usually would? What model Subaru are we talking here and what springs are fitted? Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look lowered because of the angle I took the pic on. Edited January 7 by Raynman1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
