Shock Absorbers Touching Sway Bar (1 Viewer)

[Noaly]

Hey guys,

Just got Koni Raid 90 shock absorbers installed. As you can see they’re almost touching the sway bar. Anyone had a similar issue? Any known solution?

Thanks!

Just a thought, do you see how your sway bar link is being pulled to the rear slightly? I'd guess if you put extended links on there it would fix the problem.

I thought of the same thing wanted to make sure my logic is still working properly haha. Trying to find extended links online now

I saw his product, but trying to find one that's sold locally here in Dubai. Not looking good so far though. Will probably end up ordering it from Trailor-Trailor..

If that pic is at full droop, I wouldn't worry about it. If that's ride height, then for sure you need extended end links.

Really? It won’t like break anything?
that’s at full droop yeah, it’s hanging at the garage

Hi Noaly


but you have mounted a lift kit and maybe the sway bar link have become short ?

It's not going to break anything. I ran that way for a long time before building extended links. Actually, my 80 series is still that way, no problems so far. (about 3 years since the lift went on...)

I'm not saying extended swaybar links aren't a good idea, because they are. Just that you aren't likely to see any problems with your existing setup.

Hey Giacomo

Yes the car’s been lifted. Makes sense that the links have become shorter. It’s just I don’t know of someone who’ve had this issue before so wasn’t sure if it’s “normal”

That’s great to know! Will use it in the meantime then until I’ve managed to source extended links.

Thanks I Lean!

It’s fine

Will a washer create more space between the shock and the sway bar?
