Addco Rear Sway Bar Woes

[02redgalant]

Did you buy it specific for the Galant, or pick up an Eclipse ADDCO bar?

galant bar

What I see is that your sway ends are way too in, I mean they go over the control arm and a little over.I'd say that youll need to modify it in order to get a good clearance. A 1/2 inch plank with holes in it between the rear cross member and the bushings will set the sway bar off to the back which will bring the ends to normal......or find longer end links

sure ....it brought washers for that but if I do that it'll sit on the exhaust pipe like in that last picture so everytime i start it hits it

i found stewi saying this

The lower control arms on the 02-03 galant do not interchange with the lower control arms on the 99-01 galant. The 99-01 galant the rear of the control arm mounting point is a U shaped clamp that goes over the bushing, on the 02-03 models the same mount is a solid round bracket with a different bushing. I tried mounting it in my 99 and no dice.

so beisdes the mounting point, maybe there's more a difference that may be causing the problem.

When I first bought my Addco sway bar, it did the same thing. I contacted John at Addco and they sent me a free replacement that fixed the issues and I go to keep the old one.

Thats funny,thats who i've spoken to about this issue....was it on your 02?

Yes he is the owner and I supplied him with proof of the issue. There was no questions asked. Nice co and guy to deal with. I still have the first one I bought but shaved it down and it's ok now.

[And here is a shot of the bushing. That jizzy looking substance is dielectric grease. I used it for lack of finding anything better.
