Ive just done a search on this and the closest thing I found was jadkar's Type R bar bangs w/sway bar problem.
Ive just installed a set of CT swaybars (the silver bars) on a '94. The rears fit fine, but the front bar rubs against the large coolant hose on the passenger side. It appears the CT swaybars do not bend as sharply as the oem one and do not clear the hose adequately. The car has the stock ride height and it doesnt matter which of the 3 end link mounting holes are used.
I can push the bar a little to the right and this buys about 0.2" of clearance, but the bar slides back to center on its own. I will try clamping collars later, but this still doesnt buy much clearance if any.
I am probably going to add a set of 0.5" shims between the bar and the chassis (kind of like those on 95+ cars as in Jadkar's thread) in the hopes this will give enough clearance. However, I was under the impression that these bars should bolt right up and fit correctly without any fiddling whatsoever?!?
Has anyone else had a similar problem and if so what did you do? Any information would be appreciated.
