Finally getting around to installing some of the parts that have been lying around on my parts couch all winter staring at me. Today I decided to install the whiteline 22mm blade adjustable front sway bar.

Everything seemed to be going well and I was thinking I might be able to get the rear in today as well since things where going so smoothly. But then I started having trouble getting the passenger side fitted. the bar didnt want to sit flush so the mount bracket could slide over it. At first I thought maybe the car was sitting lopsided on the jackstands. I removed the passenger side endlink and the problem became obvious.

The passenger side of the Cross member on my SS has a clearance bump to clear the exhause. The swaybar doesnt fit over this.

So my question is... did I get the wrong damn bar or am I reduced to taking a hammer to my beloved vehicle to clear the swaybar? ANYONE else have this issue?

Interesting. I know others use whiteline front bars so that's odd. I plan on buying the same adjustable swaybar in the near future.

Are you sure its not on upside down?

Yeah. With the ears pointed up so it crosses UNDER the steering arms.
