Rear stabilizer bar issues
 
I recently installed a 21mm rear stabilizer bar from a 2006 RSX-S on to my 2002 Civic LX-G Sedan. Along with this bar I also replaced my endlinks with new OEM ones.

The issue now is that the stabilizer bar is hitting both my left and right lower control arms. I can hear it while I drive.

Is the bar installed upside down? Is this bar even compatible with my car? Am I totally missing out on something here?

Here is a picture of it installed.

Looks upside down.

Just spoke to the dealership. Seemed the bar would'nt fit the other way around as it would hit the LCAs even more. Anybody else here have any experience with the 2006 RSX-S rear stabilizer?

Sounds like BS to me, lazy dealer doesn't want to correct a mistake.

Nah, I know the owner of this dealership. He's gonna check with the mechanic next week. I don't think they're being lazy. And yeah he confirmed the bar is upside down.

gotta flip the bar upside down... like they said --\____/~~ gotta be ~~\____/--

Ok so I fixed it today. The mechanic did'nt know the bar was upside down, he was talking about the mounting brackets.

So in the end it was both the bar and brackets that were upside down.
Easy fix.

Thanks for the help.
