I installed the bar myself and have an issue.

Picture is from DangerDanj

My addco bar is touching that black component of the oem suspension that the end link is bolted to. Is that right? Is that an issue realted to my current crappy oem shocks / 1 cut coil H&R springs (thanks reelax for the loner suspension till I get my SS-P)?

OR

Did Addco create a new set of bars in which the ends were too long? THe bar bolts up fine, just at the ends is the issue. Should I grind that down? I drove it and no noise was coming from it, even when I hit bumpy road...

BUT its definately sitting on the oem bar, and not barely floating on it...

Hmmm?

(yes I know pics would be better, but its bugging me and I dont have a camera readily available right now)

;) SIDE NOTE: Maybe TGC should add DangerDanj Rear Sway bar install into the tutorial? ;)

Does your bar fit properly? I remember Danj saying that his original Addco bar was too long which made it not fit. :|

its your sway bar bushing thing that makes that creaking sound.

It fits fine. NM what I took a pic of.

BUT there is some creaking from the back, but I think its the springs. It only happens when I get in and out of the car. Im only 145lbs. But the bar is fine and I love it...

so thats normal? Cause originally when I first installed it I was on rear H&R springs, but it was rubbing, so I went with a set of rear GTZ springs instead. When the H&R were on, there was NO creacking, now with the GTZ, its creaking...should i uninstall and re-install the rear sway bar?

I'd say just grease it up if you havent already.

I can't remember exactly which grease to use but i used cv joint axle grease(just cause i had plenty) on the bushing and creaking sound is gone.
