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! |

Yup, you can. On mine virtually none of the threaded portion is visible. IIRC you want to try to adjust the droplinks to get the ends of the bar as close to parallel to the ground as feasible. There's evidence on my car of the drop link hitting the trunk floor at some time in its life (with the PO) but I have never noticed this happen since my ownership - I substantially stiffened up the suspension & chassis. I keep it on full soft but prefer the way the car behaves with it vs. without it. Having front + rear bars also gives you quite a bit of trackside fine-tuning capabilities without having to dick around with spring swapping. |
