well ... i took the pic from a DIY so it's not mine ... but the sway bar actually touches the area, metal on metal ... not pretty ... i am beginning to think it's a case of the sway not being centered properly

my friend told me he read an article on the nuespeed sway bar, and they had to redesign the bar because it tore the welds off the civic. have you guys heard of this happening with the rsx sway bar???

My problem may be from being installed upside down. I'm gonna check tomorrow...it's raining now and i've got a midterm in less than 3 hours. I hope that's the problem.

the problem I had was installing the sway bar the wrong way ... turned it around and it was fine

Worst part is was that I had a family friend (that owns one of those Gas Station shops) doing it. Except when he was putting it on (the right way), I told him it looks upside down, so he flipped it. Now I'm the dumba$$ cause it's my own fault it's upside down. I'm gonna flip it myself as soon as I get a chance so I don't have to take it back and feel stupid...even though I already do.

lol. how many people got it upside down?

I mean, when you take out your stock bar, can't you see how it should go on???

its obvious the bar is designed that way so the LCA has room to travel....

but yeah I'm the dork that didn't think of using an allen wrench to secure the bar to the endlink...

*cough*

Finally got some nice weather yesterday, so I broke out the jack and flipped that badboy around. No more hitting, noise. YES.

However, the suspension is a little looser than before. Prolly since before, the controll arm couldnt move thus not allowing my car to sway/roll. Haha...
