Don't tighten the bar down until the links are into the sway bar and the struts....

take a pic with your cell phone and post it up right now, so it can help to visualize your problem.

nm i figured it out all by myself lol...

its a bitch to get that in. all i can say is that it is worth the 130$ i spent on it... i hit a corner at 40 and wow it didnt lift the front much at all.

very nice now time to get a job and get a RSB

How did the bolts for the two brackets that hold the bar down come out? I've always wanted to get a Whiteline but have been nervous of breaking these bolts because they're such small diameter and they bolt directly into the chassis. Of course mine are rusted from salty winters, but did yours come out smoothly? And where are you located?

Geezes - you added a Whiteline sway bar BEFORE you put an RSB on?!!

At least you got one that actually FITS! :roll:

haha yeah.

well their are 2 12mils that hold the bar on both sides get them off and then their is a link that goes too the strut and the bar also 2 14mils and then pull the jerk right out...

the 2 12mils sucked hardcore though one is right on the body so u cant use any sockets and there isnt much room to put a wrench in either.

im in Tejas.

- yeah i got the sway bar originally for my 01 camry, but never installed it so i put it on the solara since it is the same.

after driving around i ahve to say GREASE IT UP good i have a few sounds from it cause i didnt grease it enough

Get a set of ratcheting box wrenches! :up:

Also - an occasional check or tightening on both the brackets and the linkage will be in order - not to mention a squirt of lithium grease in those bushings now and then!

well i leave tomorrow night for 3 weeks for school in mexico... and then return and give it more attention...

i will be looking for a RSB then. how well does it change with it?

also get stainless steel brake lines.

and get better rotters in christmas time i just got basic 20$ ones for now.

by **PXLpainter** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 2:30 pm

RSB - should be the first mod you ever do. Period.

Mexico? Hope you get back with your car intact!
