    Default Installed a new rear swaybar

    I installed a Whiteline 22mm rear adjustable swaybar (part number BBR12XZ) yesterday. It took me two hours to install using hand tools. I lowered the exhaust using a bottle jack. The bar comes with 2 urethane bushes, urethane swaybar links, 4 washers, (2 big, 2 small) and 2 bolts and nuts to connect to the swaybar link to the swaybar. I had to use a difference (longer) bolt and nut to support the bush bracket.

    The swaybar didn’t line up exactly, one side was about 4mm off, I still managed to bolt everything up though are there are no clearance issues. I still have to contact the manufacturer too see where the washers go. I took is for a spin through the royal national park and I’ve got more grip at the rear now. I’ll post some pictures soon.

    22mm refers to the thickness, correct?

    What did you pay for the bar?

    Not to go too much off topic but how do you like their 27mm bar? I have the RD setup (27mm up front) and I wish it was a little thicker as there is more body roll than I'd want.
