Whiteline rear sway bar

Post by zuihoujueding »

Just got them. The bar looks nice and solid. Wonder what are the 2 brackets used for?
The brackets are they are pretty amateurish welded.... :cry:

I'd assume they replace the stock mounting brackets for the rear bar.

I agree they don't look real solid though do they...

I don't see why those brackets need to be replaced :?

Use the stock ones already on the car, I did.

got it installed today. Found that the new brackets have to be used as the new bolts cannot fit the stock brackets. The brackets which holds the bushes cannot fit the stock brackets as well. Went for the stiffest setting and it felt pretty tight at turns.
