Lateral Locks for Swaybars

Postby NC2005 » Fri Nov 04, 2011 8:24 pm

Have Whiteline sways fitted to NC.
Front are 2 way adjustable and Rear are 3 way adjustable.
How are they adjusted? Do I need to unbolt top and bottom of the End Links? I tried just unbolting top end but nothing moves .
Is it thought neccesary to fit Lateral Locks, the Front had them but they failed within a few months and the Rear did not have them. I can get better Alloy ones from Whiteline.

You just move the link on the sway bar.

Set the front to soft. Furthest out. Set the rear bar to the middle setting and then try it out on a round about. If it oversteers move the rear bar position out to full soft. You will never need to set the front bar to full hard.

My bars never had a lock to stop the bar sliding across the bushes and I never had a problem with them.
