Sway bar rubbing rear control arm bracket

[1fastfalcon]

I got my coil-overs and my UMI rear suspension parts installed. I need look at the rear with weight on the car and the rear sway bar is rubbing the passenger side lower control arm relocation bracket. What is need to fix this? Shorter end links?

Grind/cut a notch in the lca reloc bracket.

+1. Had to do this when I relocated the sway bar.

I just left mine rubbing. Hasn't been an issue for me.

Nice, after awhile it will be good to go and wear in its own notch lol

Same here, just adjusted the sway bar side to side to give a little gap from the relocation brackets. hasnt bothered me since

any one have a pic of where they had to make the notch? I'm thinking of going out and doing this today.

PM Dysan or Ray. Direct them to this thread. They'll answer you.

No need to notch anything. Remove the sway bar and bend it out a little on each end. Problem solved. Had to do this on Jeremy's car, Greg's and my car.

Glad this is happening to other people as well, lol.

I didn't get to it the other day (had a comperessor issue), so I'll give the bending a try next weekend. I'm guessing it will be apparent where I need to bend it? Did you just take it off and put it in a vise or something?

Thanks for the heads up!

Wow!!! After posting about this and ordering new lca relocation brackets, I discover I'm not the only one having this issue.

The BMR relo brackets know have the notch. Not sure about other manufacturers.

Bend where it 90's back toward your wheels. We stuck one end in the reciever of my truck and bent it. We measured from the center of the bar to 90 degree and bent the bar a few times to make sure it moved about 3/4" out.
