in the process of swapping my clutch out when I noticed this. My rear sway bar from Spohn (I did purchase the ones for 82-92) is rubbing against my shocks....nothing too drastic...yet. But it obviously should be clearing

Im heading up to my parents tongiht to finish the clutch install, and Ill be sure to take some pics


anyone have this happen...any solutions?

 

does it have a stock rearend or aftermarket?

this is a long thread but sounds similar to your problem, take a mintue and read it

LS1TECH - Gettin screwed on my rear sway bar that dont fit

 

thanks for the thread...kinda left me with options, but my situation differs since I have the stock 10-bolt that came with the car

BTW I just want to say that the rear has been aligned professionally (not that it would matter since you can adjust the swaybar anyhow)

I have a few pics so you can see where it's rubbing/ how bad, and how much room I have to play with (the other side)....might have to look at them a few times to understand how they were taken (from the rear of the car)...but hopefully you can see.


first one here is the left side of the rear where it is rubbing

 

Pic 2 is the actual rubbing that has occured

 

pic 3 (last one) is the other side and how much room I have to play with (a little less than 1/4" - at best)


so...any ideas?

 

I ahve a BMR rear sway bar and my buddie has a Spohn and we both have Moser 12 bolt rears, we put the sway bars on the floor together and they were not the same Spohn's was about 1/2" wider but all of the bends were the same till they came to the part were it connects to the frame (1/2") different, we measured it, but with a little push from both sides there the same. we think the bar was just out of shape. we just went to a u-pull-it place and got one for a couple of $$$ and painted it and it works perfect, and we found someone that it fit one there car and sold it. JR1.
