Sway Bar Install Rwd C34

[damfat]

Hi guys

So I installed front sway bar on my rsv rwd stagea with the whiteline kit and something doesn't seem right with the links its making a knocking noise while driving.also have rear sway bar but couldn't figure out where I could fit it as rwd stagea doesn't come with a stock sway bar.

Took it to pedders they wernt much help just said part might be wrong but I checked the part numbers with whiteline website and they were the same pedders couldn't figure out how to mount rear sway bar either which is a bit lame considering they meant to be suspension specialists.

Any one fitted sway bars to rwd before?

I'll try a pic upload soon

the rwd does have the mounting points for the swaybar. You need to get the u brackets for it.

It also needs spacers where the links bolt on as the rwd track is wider and the brackets need slotting out a bit to fit on.

you can get away with no spacers, just means links are at a mad angle.

Not sure whats going on with the front, I still have my stock front one.

sorry about formatting!! Got lost somehow.

You are using the front sway bar links in the wrong position.

Pedders are clearly a bunch of absolute retards if they couldn't tell you that.

The link is supposed to point upward toward the mounting point on the hub assembly.

This is what it should look like assembled;



To use the front 2 positions on the swaybar; you need to flip the link around, so the threaded section faces the rear of the car.

This link is a KLC108;

The KLC109 is the link you require for the rear.

As Ben said; you'll require a pair of "D" bush shells and bolts to mount the rear, but the kit contains everything else you need.
I hope this helps.
If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact me; I'm happy to help you.

Thanks for the help guys.

Dale the picture you have provided looks different to my setup,my sway bar goes above control arm and link bolts downward onto it.

its like the links that were provided are not the right ones the picture of the klc109 links would suit better to the front sway bar i have some pictures of stock links and sway bar below which are completely different to what I got from whiteline klc108.

Ben Im not sure if what your saying is what i have but theres a picture below with what i have that came with rear sway bar.

Your pics show the stock links. I got a set of KLC109 from Dale and now have a much better fit.

[Ben C34]

How can you not be sure of my post?

Anyway

Pics to come.

I'll let them show you!

[Ben C34]

You don't have the u bracket or the spacers.

What you're saying suggests the front suspension you have is more like an S14 than an R33 then.

Would you say the arrangement of the links is more like this pic? The link is slightly obscured by the brake mounting bracket, but you get the idea.

If it does; this is the link you need for the front. KLC107.

Can you return them for a refund/exchange?

Even if you have to take a slight hit on the price, or you might be able to onsell the KLC108's to an R33 or AWD Stagea owner at a slight loss.

I get these at heavily discounted prices; I could help you with the KLC107's if you like.

Unfortunately can't really help you with the KLC108's, we might still be able to salvage something for you?

Let me know.

[Ben C34]

Rs stage as do use s14 style front ends.

Totally different to the awd.

Ben thanks for the pic just didn't know what you meant by the u bracket I do know by looking at the pic.so I bought a sway bar kit for my car I thought that it would come with everything to install them on my Car as its called a kit.

Dale that's exactly the same setup as my car so will contact whiteline on Monday see if I can exchange links and find out why I don't have all parts for rear sway bar.

Ben just wondering which u bracket you used and where from also did you have to drill holes to mount?

I used a stagea brackets from a wrecker, 10 bucks, but they are the same for heaps of cars.

No drilling required, the nuts are there to bolt into.

Like I said you will have to slot the holes on the brackets though due to the rs rear end being wider.

Alright thanks for that hopefully will be able to find brackets and install next week
