Eibach Front anti-sway bar fitment issues
 

So I feel like a real tool in a way because I tried to install my Eibach anti-sway bar over the weekend and it did not fit well at all, what should be a brainless instal. I am wondering if any of you out there have any issues with this as well. The bends on the bar are a bit off, where the two "humps" are that were for the radiator inlet and the coolant temp sensor (I think) are too close to each other, in other words, there is not enough distance between the two sets of bends so it hits the mounting bolts for the steering rack as well as the brackets. I called Eibach and they tell me that it is possible the bends were not correct but they have no known issues with this bar. I double checked the part numbers and that is good and I am sure I don’t have it in wrong. Funny thing is that it almost fits better upside down....but the end links are way, way off then. So does anyone know any problems they may have had?

I got them from mazdacomp so I will give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. Thanks folks.

hmmm. I installed an eibach anti roll kit on my S4 a few weeks ago and had no issue with fitment. Getting the brackets to cooperate and making the passenger side end link line up were my biggest issues. Got pics?

Are you trying to do this while jacking just ONE CORNER of the car???
If so, you need to jack the entire front end to get the bar to align...

yeah i know, its not how i put it on, its the bar. I will post some pics when I take them to send to eibach.


I know what you mean about the bracket though. The "humps" in the bar seem to be to close together, like they need to add an inch or so down the middle. So the bar rubs on the rack bolts and the bracket for rack as well.
