Can anyone tell me if these Weltmeiter front sway bar tabs look like they are mounted in the right location? I am having some problem getting these to attach correctly.
Thanks, Attached thumbnail(s)

Your pics are to dark for my old eye to make out all the detail but I can tell the U-tabs are welded on wrong. The tabs should be turned 90degrees so the bolt slides in front to rear parallel to the center line of the car.
I also don't recall the tabs being so close to the ball joint. If I can get to the arms in my garage I will measure the location of them. Smart Racing makes some clamp on drop link brackets that provide a better location than the Automotion or factory tabs. Jim |

Yes, they are welded on wrong. As mentioned above they should be rotated 90 deg.
See post #5 in this ancient thread regarding how far back from ball joint. (Someone please let me know if that is wrong as I am about to weld these tabs on using this info)... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=7223 |
