Hey guys,

So I installed these lower arms on my FOX and everything went pretty well, until I went to re-install the stock rear swaybar. I must have been super dumb yesterday, but I could not figure out how the sway bar is supposed to mount to the rear LCAs. It seems that the bar is too wide and both sides will not mount up properly to the LCAs. Now, I know I must doing something wrong here. I didn't put much time into as it was getting late and decided to deal with it later.

Any help would be appreciated .....Thank You.

Eric

I have never paid much attention to the rears mounting but... Are the swaybar mounts on the GW Control arms off center? If so you may have to reverse them.

I have absolutely no idea what i am talking about here as I have never installed control arms, but if they are off center that could affect the relative width the sway bar would have to reach.

When someone comes in and tells me I am an idiot thats cool, it was just a thought.

Does the sway bar mount on the outside of the flange, of your control arms?

I havn't installed my arms and sway bar yet so i can not give you any positive info.

You may have installed the lca on the wrong side? Check and see if the mounting flange for the sway bar is offset to one side of the lca.
