hey guys.....does anyone still jump on this forum??:D

anyways...my swaybars finally arived and i got them installed at a workshop. got home and had a look to find this...(pic attatched). im no suspension expert but im damn sure they arent supposed to be as twisted as taht right!! the nut looks over tightened, the bush washer is facing the wrong way and the bushes are sitting on the wrong side of the swaybar.

can someone confirm if this installation was done wrong??

cheers.

G'day Mr Fanny,

It would seem you have a few minor problems in the installation of your swaybar.

The bar appears to be a BNR11Z on the rear of a Nissan.

The end links are positioned on the wrong side of the bar and the original rubber bushes should not be used.

It is also vital that all the surfaces of the urethane bushes that rotate or move on metal surfaces are adiquately lubricated with the grease supplied. The urathane bushes must not be over tightened - and unlike rubber bushes no crush is is to be applied.

Hello mr Fanny,

It appears like the instalation was carried out with the suspension at full droop, hence the reason for the bar being on the wrong side of the links, as for the other problems, I could only imagine that is due to the mechanics lack of knowledge of the Whiteline products.
