Does the SuperPro front bar have lateral locks on it, to stop it sliding sideways?

Don't forget that there are effectively 2 ball joints in each of the front swaybar links; if these are worn (and it will be quite difficult to tell) an increase in roll stiffness will make them quite noisy.

The good thing is; they only cost around $120 to replace the pair.

my bar only has the lateral locks on the inner side of the bushes.

getting it checked out tomorrow

It's so bad I can made it knock by rocking the car with my hands

weird, it all felt rock solid, see what happens up on the hoist

Check the links where they bolt to your sway bar mate may be a few turns loose! Mine where in the back and made the same noise they some lock tight in done up up good and no more issues! Also yeah they only have the kicks on the inner side as that stop left and right slippage

The bolts do bed into the powdercoat; I always go back over everything after a few hundred kays, not worth the risk of something coming loose.

Pads were low, rotors were warped, and you made the prudent choice considering OEM parts for M35s are hard to get and very expensive. And other excuses.

haha, if it comes to that, I'll use it thanks.

last service was trans fluid change, came back with sways bars front and back too, just between you and me

one issue i had with the superpro set i had was that between the solid mount lock and the bush cradle there was a 3mm gap each side causing a knock. I fixed with a piece of 3mm rubber each side to stop the knocking. Compared to whitline superpro are poorly made.

It's a damn shame they won't produce them anymore; I've begged and pleaded.

I'm really happy with mine, It's made a massive difference.

The car feels so much more rigid, which is great on good roads.

Only thing now is you notice the how the stock springs are too soft , so when you drive over uneven road, the car rocks quite bad.

Don't know if you really need the locks on both sides of the bushes.

Isn't it supposed to give a bit through the bushes...

Exactly, as the bar loads up; it wants to slide sideways in its mounts. This is the knocking that you can hear.

The use of separate lateral locks on the Whiteline bars is no doubt in response to variability in build dimension, to guarantee a good fit.

mm, I'll check my bushes from time to time.

If I notice any gaps I could make some external locks with a pipe clamp or similar..

SuperPro should have supplied them really..

Damn end bolts keep coming loose on my SuperPro front sway bar.

4th time now in about 5 weeks.

Had the mechanics tighten it up on the hoist still coming undone.

Did it up myself on ramps to the point of the heads stripping.

Still doing it.

Any tricks here to stop it ?

Was advised against loktite as links are expected to wear quickly with the big arse bar.
