End Links for Sway Bars

135Gunnar · 01-27-2015, 11:03 AM

Hey guys, I am having an issue when I corner hard, my sway bars are hitting the floorboard. I have the Eibach Pro Kit installed on my Msport 135. Do I need to order new sway bars entirely, or can I get shorter end links to prevent this?

WTF? That does not sound right.

Are you sure you have not broken a bracket?

I just had it on the lift this morning and nothing is out of place.

Do you have pictures of your setup? This seems physically impossible on the front, and I haven't spent a lot of time looking at the rear. I could see how the front sway bar could potentially hit the tie rod, but the floor board?

I believe Turner Motorsports has adjustable end links.

I'm trying to conceptually think this, and nothing is coming to mind.

I've had my front wheel up in the air while cornering with no endlink issue like you're describing

Well, it's hitting something- maybe that's it.

How do you know it's your sway bar?

Whiteline has adjustable endlinks, those might help.

I live in Australia and have dealt direct with whiteline on a few cars. I ordered HPA endlinks

We need a photo to see what is really going on.
