#20744, "Replacement front brackets for the new sway bar?"
Oct-28-03 06:00 AM by Nackers

          

We got the suspension techniques front and rear bars. Since we have a RS we had do buy a bunch of shit for the rear and we got some new shit for the front so it would make life easier. Well we did the rear with no problems but when we got to the front, we had to cut the endlinks off and instead of cutting the bolt for the bottom part of the link, I cut the sway bar instead cause it was a lot easier. Anyway we did this to both sides and got the new bar in just to realize that the urethane bushings don't fit with the factory brackets.

Does anyone know where to find bigger brackets for the bigger bar? I would think that they would send the brackets in the kit, but we got nothing. TIA.

EDIT: I forgot to mention we just have the front bar wrapped in electrical tape and put the bracket on without a bushing cause we didn't want it to make a whole lot of noise. This is a very temporary solution till we can find bigger brackets. Any help is welcome.

Suspension techniques uses a 19 mm front bar from what I remember. Their bushing fits very tightly into the stock bracket. The bolts can be difficult to line up, but they do go. Do not strip them out.

My suspension techniques front sway is adjustable as well. You may have the wrong bar for some reason.

Did you check the design/bends in the bar to see if it follows the stock pattern exactly? It should

The rear one does not look like a stock sway from a GS/GS-T.

"Their bushing fits very tightly into the stock bracket. The bolts can be difficult to line up, but they do go."

I noticed the bushing was a really tight fit and you can ask Michael97Rs, it was not going on there.


"My suspension techniques front sway is adjustable as well. You may have the wrong bar for some reason. Did you check the design/bends in the bar to see if it follows the stock pattern exactly?"

I don't think so. It looked exactly like the factory front and went in really easy. Everything is bolted up, but like I said, the brackets are being very ghey.


"The rear one does not look like a stock sway from a GS/GS-T."

I wouldn't know what the rear bar looks like cause we have a RS and had to buy parts from Satan to get it on. Also, like I said up there, we got the rear on with no problems. The factory bracket was big enough to fit the bar and the bushing no problem. It's just the front.



And to the other guy (sorry I'm bad with names) I did e-mail suspension techniques and they didn't e-mail me back yet.

Do you think if I just got a longer bolt for each side I would be able to do it, or would the angle be off and just not work? (Do you understand what I am asking?)
