Whiteline sway bar not fitting...

[dylan8]

Hi all,

My coilovers are in and new front sway bar is in. clearance to the drive-shaft finally! My only problem is when the sway bar is on 'lose' (or outer hole) setting, it hits the lower control arm. my mechanic then fitted it at the tighter setting and it only just clears it. it also seems to be worse on the driver side if thats possible...

He suggested getting longer end links, but i was under the impression just the bar solved all the problems...

Anyone else had this problem or has any suggestions?

Cheers, Dylan

Was it a simple fix, maybe you could post it up. Might save someone else some grief down the line??

Agree, should tell us all the fix as an aid to others with any probs.
I have always used Whiteline on my Golfs including my old Mk1 racecar, the rear bar worked well when it was attached and I recieved a balck flag in one race after it ripped the mounting point from the body. Its a well known problem....
Over the years I have fitted a lot of Whiteline bars to various brands and most are good.
The front bar on my Mk5 isnt perfect, it hits on bits under there occassionaly.
I am aware of the problem and keep an eye on it...

Hey Jim,

Will Pm you shortly. EDIT: apparently we cant PM you?? I have been talking to John Leighton at Redranger via email but he is way on holidays currently.

Id rather not post up at the moment guys for various reasons as its still being solved. and id rather not cause problems for myself and or whiteline as they have been fantastic so far!

G’day everyone and happy new year,

Dylan8, sorry about that but we need to shut off PM as we can’t respond to all the forums we contribute too. Sometimes it also needs other people to answer some questions so we prefer if people send an email either to support@whiteline.com.au or to me directly and can get it to the right person if I’m not them.

As you know with Xmas and New Year a lot of people are away on vacation and it’s our equivalent tot eh summer holidays so things sort of slow down over January. If its OK with you. I’d rather leave it with John so he can follow through. If not, let me know what I can do.

Cheers

Cheers, Dylan

Im bring this thread back to life.
Does anyone else on here have a Whiteline front sway bar in their Mk4?
I'm onto my second sway bar, 2nd set of end links (which have just snapped again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Basically I want to find out if anyone else in AUS is having problems or just me?

What type of endlinks do you (or did you) have Dylan, just the whiteline ones? I'm using FKs on a stock bar but they've only been on for a month and a bit. I think they still don't quite clear all the time though.
