So I have bought the 06 TriBeCa sway bar and I know how it's suppose to fit but my big thing is the bushings I know people have modified the bushings and brackets but I really don't want too haha

I was thinking of getting whitelines rear 24mm bushing and grinding off the tabs of the brackets

I'm just looking for some input before I go to far lol

Just grinding those tabs off doesn't seem like it would fit right if someone had a pic they could post up

The bushings are pretty cheap

Why run such a huge fsb? Its going to make the car understeer worse, isn't it? It understeers like crazy as is.

24mm gc bushings work perfectly, that's what I am running on my legacy with the Tribeca fsb

And stock 18 in the front? Does it understeer? I have whiteline 20mm adjustable rear and 20mm wrx wagon front and it understeers bad.

With good tires, stock FSB and rear 22mm bar, my car doesn't understeer as much as when I had a 20mm wrx wagon one. But front end grip "feels" less with the smaller fsb, on corners.

Yeah, whiteline bushings. You can use the stock bushing brackets with zero modification, I can look back and get the part number if needed.

If you could get the part number that would be great

And it grips great and not to much understeer but I'm on coil overs also

Sweet just order them you had to grind off the tabs on the bracket correct?

And did you have to modify your sub frame by the up pipe I'm lowered on coil overs

I'm na, so it didn't mess with anything on my crossmember. I don't remember having to grind the tabs, bit it's been about a year since I did it.
