my wagon is lowered 2 inches in the front with impala ss wheels on it which means the tires are wider than stock. in result to that the inside of the tires rub on the sway bar when i turn. anybody got any pointers on how i can fix this? advice would be great! Thanks!! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima
the impala or 9c1 sway bar may help. there is no difference in the wheel wells between the impala and the caprice
How bad is the rub? Just at full lock? I have a slight rub with mine. I will have to raise mine up some as I dropped it to much and I am sitting on the bumpstops.
the rub isnt too bad but i dont want to have to keep buying new tires cuz the insides get rubbed down to the wires lol
yeah but where can i find one? i cant find one anywhere. and the places i have found something similar they dont have pictures :banghead3:
You can call Hotchkis, etc. and give them the dimensions you are needing. Most of these companies can look up the measurements. Width, diameter, length of arms, etc. I have also adapted the Nascar style anti-sway bars to cars as well. They are a splined bar that comes is various widths. The bars and the arms can be bought used on Ebay for pennies on the dollar. It does require some fab work, but makes for a great install compaired to a stock type bar. Handling is far superior using the splined bars.
It is normal for the inside of the front tires to rub the sway bar on lowered B-bodies running Impala SS wheels with stock size or larger tires. The Impala SS and 9C1 bar will make it worse as they are larger bars. About 1" is about as low as you can go to keep this from happining.
This might help. I just checked and they do have pics of their replacement suspension parts. http://www.clearlyauto.com/
