I received a Weltmeister Rear Sway Bar as a donation to my track car project.
It's a used unit and as such has no instructions/templates for the install. Anyone have any pics of theirs in the car and tips to make sure I don't dick it up? A test fit shows that it may interfere with the shocks at the full-soft setting. Both ends of the bar contact at the adjustable mount. There doesn't seem to be that much room for travel either, though I can shorten the droplinks by about 3/4 inch or so (unless the bar is supposed to ride below the lower shock mount? Seems unlikely, but that's why I'm asking the question, eh?) A search only gave me a photo of a stock set up which doesn't help. The mounting points are different, but the bar is in the correct position above the lower shock mount. Many TIA! |

Well, I got it figured out. The installation was pretty straightforward and went quickly. A second set of hands would have been nice, but wasn't really necessary.
You can see how close the adjustable slider comes to the shock body. I will just have to set the bar a bit stiffer. The fronts are also adjustable and the first AX of the year is next Sunday so I'll be fiddling with each end until I get the car to balance. You can also see that the Welt bar does not use the same mounting points as a stock bar would. I think the stock bar goes into the outboard plug holes. Mmmm. Performance parts. Sexy.
