Wonderbar won't fit

Hey guys,

Picked up a BMR Wonderbar and the holes don't line up. Is that possible?
Do have a front sway bar, I believe Spohn, but the holes just don't line up.

Anyone encountered this?
thx

Do a search on "BMR Wonderbar". You aren't the only one that has had problems with this.

Have you tried swapping it end to end? I remember there being a left and right side to the ones I have had.

Re: Wonderbar won't fit

this happened to me also, no idea why it didnt line up. I tried flipping it every which way. i ended up sending it back to summit and had them send me a UMI one. the UMI one had zero issues with fitment. good luck.

I actually had to do that to make my wonder bar fit. Not sure if it was the wonder bar out of alignment or the chassis had tweaked a bit.

Flip it around - Yup.

Almost feels silly I didn't see that possibility.

BTW, BMR's tech support is great.
