Swaybar Help!
Hey Guys. I put a whiteline swaybar in my BA today. It made a big difference! I checked it out after taking it for a drive and it looks like it slides side to side, is this normal?

Unfortunately. Search for this in the handling section and you will find various solutions to the problem. I used rubber and worm drive clamps on the inside of the bar. Mine also squeaks occasionally apparently that's sort of normal too if not enough grease is on there!

They do move a certain amount left or right due the the design, but ideally they shouldn't. It's worth putting some clips or rubber hose clamps around the swaybar next to the mounting bushes to keep it in place.

As above, they will move a little. If it is only 10-20mm, then ignore it. If more, then search for the fix solutions.
