RSB rubbing on exhaust

Post by Danteandsoob »

So I area day asked this on the sway bar FAQ, but my rear sway bar is rubbing on my stock exhaust. I thought it was the sway bar bring all the creeks of the old suspension (~21+) years of stock suspension. But after lubbing up everything, the sound hadent stopped. So when I was checking everything was set for auto cross the weekend, I noticed the sway bar was resting on the exhaust. The sway bar and the subframe mounts were taken off a legacy I know would work (thanks Jamel for the impressive sway bar FAQ) but it seems I missed something.

Can't get pics right now, but it's a 18mm bar from a 95 legacy L wagon.

Did you compare yours to the pics I posted in the swaybar guide?

It looks like the mounts I pulled off the other car are too low, so I'll need to go back to the yard and pull some shorter ones.
