lowered car rear sway bar issues
has anyone else had a problem with their rear sway bar after lowering the car...i had to make up some new brackets for mine after i lowered it because it had put a hole in the rearend pan. it drove great for a while like that(about four months)...at which point it has decided now to break the mount on the drivers side where the end link bolts in. if anyone knows a better way to remedy the situation please let me know...apparently the brackets i made put too much stress on the mounts and im going to have to revise that idea.

Re: lowered car rear sway bar issues
I will bet you 100 internet dollars that your swaybar is upside-down.
I had the exact same problem when I lowered my car last year and added a new swaybar. I came here and everyone acted like I had Down's syndrome. I was just about to make similar brackets, when I realised what I had done. The only thing you normally have to do to a sway bar after lowering, is maybe shortening the spacers. Even that isn't done most of the time. If your bar is touching the cover, esp. enough to damage it, then that's definately it.
