front whiteline sway bar issue
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2017 11:07 am
Just figured Id post one of findings the other day.
I am running the following setup in the front on my car:
1. T3 LCA (boxy kind)
2. T3 Tension Rods
3. Whiteline sway bar
4. GC coilovers with Tokiko HTS
5. T3 Steering knuckles (2 setting type)
6. T3 RCA
7. AW11 manual rack (no spacers)
7. 15x9 -15 rotas
I am unable to use full lock on the steering due to the wheels touching the whiteline sway bar. The sway bar hangs over/in front of the tension rod. The outer tie rods are also hooked onto the shortest setting on the knuckle. Anyways, with other sway bars such as oem, cusco, tanabe, they are tucked behind the tension rod. This gives you more clearance. Has anyone had this problem before? I have about a thumbs width of rack travel before it bangs the inner tie rod stop. I suppose I could adjust the lca length..So whats the point of this cool story? If you plan on getting lots of angle in your car, think twice about running whiteline sway bars.
