I am wanting to adjust my rear swaybar to soften it, its currently on the middle setting. I cant see how I can move the adjustable arm that goes up to the swaybay as it pivets the wrong way on the lower end for the front to back movement I need where it connects to the swaybar.
Its a whiteline swaybar and should be adjustable as it has the holes there.
Also when the two bolts are taken out of the swaybar, should I be able to rotate it in the bushes as it does want to move, maybe I need new bushes?
See pics below
Would appreciate some advice,
thanks Nicky

Just push harder, this is the only solution with stock sway links.

Re: Adjusting rear swaybar
Sometimes the only way you can do it is by bending the end links. I use a good vice and a small sledge hammer. The links themselves are tough as.

Re: Adjusting rear swaybar
Sorry to hi-jack thread, but I had an issue ages ago with my front whiteline sway bar, nothing I could do would get it into the hardest setting, only the middle one.
would this help?

Re: Adjusting rear swaybar
yes as the rose joints allow more flexability with angles.
