Whiteline rear sway bar mount


Recommended Posts

Has anyone had experience fitting Whiteline's rear sway bar heavy duty mounts (KBR21-22) on a GC8.

I found the right hand mount impossible to fit as the fuel pipe (to the fuel tank) gets in the way. I'm sure this can be moved/removed with a bit more effort, but what a pain.

When I test fitted the left hand mount, there were problems lining up the bracket (that holds the bushing and sway bar) to the mount. Ie - it didn't line up perpendicular with the bar, and the bracket would probably require bending to make it fit.

Supposedly they are L and R mounts and must face 'forward'. But even the alignment of the mounts to the frame don't sit flush. Really untidy looking.

In the end, I had to put the factory mounts back on.

not my car, stock image off the net, and some paint skillz - but hopefully explains it.

the green lines are the frame, and you can see the mount doesn't sit square.

the main issue however is the yellow circle, where the other bolt is and the fuel pipe thats directly below it. The factory mount was difficult enough to undo. The whiteline mount design makes it impossible to get a spanner + chubby fingers in above the pipe. (the car has to be on the ground to install)

It can be done. You need little or bendable fingers to set the bolt into place. There is only one way to offer up the bolt to the hole, and you need to find the right approach angle for yourself. Then use those fingers to tighten as much as possible (which is not so much). Then use an offset ring spanner to very slowly tighten bolt. The spanner only fits from one direction too. It takes ages, but you only do it once.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
