I took out my rear sway bar cause I was gonna swap my rear end out for a posi but never did and never put the swaybar back in. Ive been driving it around town without it and Ive noticed that my door has started to rub the fender. Could the body have twisted or something to cause this?

 

It shouldnt mine did not come with a rear swaybar and as of yet still dont have one and i have mo problems with that.

 

no, the sway bar is not going to cause body flex or the lack there of...however, you're probably more aware of how things act on the car since you've made a change. please put a rear sway bar back on the car though, it handles so much better...and this is coming from a guy who likes to go straight...i would never take the rear sway bar off the car, it also helps the car leave at the track straighter. we just put one on my buddies berlinetta, which did not come with one from the factory and it made a HUGE difference.

 

Thanks guys... I got one from a Formula that Ill throw on...

 

when you say "Rear Swaybar," is that the same as the "Panhard Rod"?

 

No. The panhard bar centers the rear end. I've posted a link to an example of the phb.

sounds like your doorhinge is starting to go or you knocked your front end out of alignment some how(fender shifted positions)

 

Thanks, but I'm already aware of what the panhard rod looks like...there is also a track bar on the rear as well, but I'm still not sure what the "sway bar" looks like...if you could provide a pic of that it would be helpful

 

this bar goes underneath the rearend and actually attaches to the rearend. some base model cars did not get them, but most did. here is a picture of an aftermarket spohn piece. i'll see if i can find one installed.

here ya go, it's black in this picture and goes under the rearend:

 

Ok, thanks for that...I should have know what that was, I've seen it many times before but just never refered to it as a swaybar
