motavated Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'll try man but let me give you a better picture on what will happen if I flip it. Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 hahahahaa... that's the best picture if the whole situation you could have drawn! you look tired and mad.:lol: I would give a call the ADDCO... that bar may not be correct for the truck. The one I bought from NEVERENOUGHAUTO (egay) was made by ADDCO too, and, of course, was the completely wrong part. I had to get a hold of the guy, John from ADDCO, and have him confirm that they sent the wrong part (or that the part didnt exist for my application in the first place!!!) before I got a full refund... but I eventually did. So, maybe John can get you dialed in on the correct part..? or get your money back. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 That is the same fucken place I got mines from!!!! WTF? So did you get it? I am calling tomorrow that is for sure!!! Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 did you try turning it so the ends are attached to axle like this 1 Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 how do the links attach to the axle?? I can't see. Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 if you look close you will see that they made a plate that goes between the sping and the shock mount that holds the lower sway bar mount 1 Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Ohhhh, yeah, that would work. bracket would have to be stiff stuff to get the intended effect. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 What type of kit is that? I worked all day today so I couldn't call. Will call Monday. I like your idea man... If i cant get a refund I will try what they did on that car. A ford right? I was looking into 1966 mustang rear sway bars too. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 what if you face these u bolts towards the rear, the threaded parts pointed to the rear, would it fit then? i was just looking thru the manual and saw one like that on a hardbody or something.. 1 Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 You see the bend in the middle of the bar? Well that is supposed to go around the diff when there is movement. But if i flip it over. it will hit the drive shaft and have no play at all. At the moment I will leave the sway bar until last. I could get other stuff done that I know fits and not get so stressed out. Thanks!!! I will start ranting at this page again when I talk to addco tomorrow and or star working at it again. Thanks! :) 1 Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 the addco sway bars i have seen are yellow, i work at oreilly and i looked them up and they show a yellow one, it fits other mini trucks as well Quote Link to comment
JDM510 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 you need to not flip it...... but install it the same way you have it but with the bar ends facing the rear of the truck then it may work right Quote Link to comment
Ukrarex Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yeah dont flip it just turn it around, even in the "crappy diagram" it shows the bar ends pointing away from the diff. You will than have to drill 2 holes in the frame for the end link bracket. At least that is what i think it should be like. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Honestly I have not installed it yet and fuck that piece of shit. FUCK IT! I gave up on it and its laying around in the garage somewhere. Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Motavated, Here are the photos I just took. Remember the axle brackets need to be as close to the springs as possible and spaced evenly. I hope this helps, if you need anymore help pm me and I will give you my number. 1 Quote Link to comment
