Progress rear bar issues

featherweight13 · 10-23-2007, 01:35 AM

This is for a 92 sentra. Ive been having issues with the ends of the bar hitting my lateral links. The L-brackets keep turning and ending up in 45 degree angles after driving for a bit. I used 2 jacks to load the suspension when re-installing it however now the left side hangs down further than the right side at full droop.

I need to add that the left sway bar bracket is off of a 93, I'm assuming theres no difference.

Do you have the sway bar mounted so one of the brackets is in front of the mount and the other behind it (which is the correct way)? That was one of the goofy things I remember about my install - that would would cause the bar to angled if both were either in front or behind.

Just something to check.

ya X2 on how you have the bar mounted?

also you need to get the "L" brackets on there tight so they don't twist!

where in the easy bay are you? i'm local if you need a hand and my car has this bar too.

Do your strut housings extend beyond the mounting ears? Or are they more like the front? They may be causing a problem. I'm guessing you have stock housings?

Progress prototyped the bar on a car without the extension. Similiar to this:

Your rears probably looks like this:

Yea, the left is mounted on the inside and the right is mounted outside. Rex, Im using AGXs.

Thanks for the offer Avshi. If I continue to have issues, I'll PM you. Im in Union City.

After readjusting the endlinks and tightening the sh*t out of the L-brackets the hitting has ceased. However the rear suspension feels terribly jarring and I think it has to do with them not being able to droop far enough. I'll begin to experiment. Thanks for the help everyone.
