That’s still too tight on the strut rod IMHO. The angle isn’t bad, that’s really not that concerning. I mean sure, ideally they’d be vertical and the bar would be horizontal to the ground. But that’s not a big deal.

The clearance to the strut rod is a big deal though. I wouldn’t run it like that. Maybe that’s just me, but I’d want significantly more clearance than what you’ve got. Find a welder, weld those brackets in the factory location. You’ll gain clearance, improve the angle on the end links, and probably be able to shorten the end links and level the bar too.

Glad you chimed in. Thanks. I know you do a lot of the pro touring type stuff. It is concerning it’s that close to the strut rod. I wish they still made the factory style tabs you could weld on yourself. I would have done that when everything was apart. Unfortunately, relying on an aftermarket sway bar solution was a risk. I have a welder and could do it my self but am wondering what Hellwig will have to say if I call them.

I’m wondering if this is why Hotchkis supplies you with welding tabs for their sway bar kit.???
