    ADDCO rear sway bar install issues...

    So I purchased an ADDCO rear sway bar from jegs, and I'm in the process of attempting to install it but it's kind of a bitch. I'm having a hell of a time installing the end links, and it seems like it hits my exhaust (it's stock cat back) Has anyone else had issues?? Or even installed one I know they're fairly rare cause of availability. Thanks. Oh and I'll probably have a Suspension Techniques rear for sale soon.

    I put the factory one on and i think I had to raise one of the rear hubs to install it, it also appeared to hit suspension components until both wheels were actually on the ground. I couldn't find any info on how it installed either. Mine came from an LXI hatch at the yard, I had to buy all new hardware and end link pieces to be able to put it in. I'll try to go out and get some pictures later

    Thee ADDCO bolts nowhere near stock. I still have the ST one under there during the install. The end links bolt to a bracket thats connected to the mower control arm. Then I have to drill into the frame for the brackets.

    Got it installed, had to jack up one side to get the pressure off or it, took it for a drive with both rears installed just out of curiosity, Holy shit it handles like its on rails.

    pics aren't the best but you get the idea... The ADDCO is the black rear one, and the ST is the gray one.

    You should've seen me when I opened the box, I was like what the hell are all these brackets and crap for... Then I found out.

    Had, I've since removed the ST rear, the rear was way to stiff. Fun but stiff.
