NC Rear Sway Bars

[Guy_Coles]

Just a heads up, I recently fitted a Whiteline Rear Sway Bar to my car and for other reasons didn't get a chance to get down to spinning wheels for a month or 2 to get an alignment. When Stu got it up on the hoist, he said "Obviously your rear bar is working" and showed me the shape of my endlinks:
They are supposed to be straight...

I don't know of anyone else that's had this problem and the other NC owners that I've spoken to haven't had the same experience but it might be worth a check a while after you fit a new rear bar. A set of adjustable end links fixed it in a flash

Just checked mine. All OK after some 30,000km on Whiteline adjustables.

I'm never going to live that down am I... Not only can I bend end links but loosen sump plugs in a 10 minute ride

probably more of an indicator that I need to look at my driving style, smooth and progressive is faster and does less damage......

The endlinks were great and let me dial out any preload of which there was quite a lot as the originals were a bitch to get off (might have been as they were bent though), interestingly both were bent to different degrees and in 3 dimensions that didn't match:

Hahah.

I had the same problem with my nb. Installed white line adjustables, and the front end links looked like bananas within the first month and rattled like crazy.

There isn't much meat in the standard end links. Good to see you have it sorted. Looking forward to a battle on the track at the club track day
