Heavy duty swaybar
Hey guys, I recently received a Superpro 24mm heavy duty rear swaybar for my 2011 gu wagon. Also I got the left and right extended links from patrolapart. Only prob is the original d bush saddles are too small, do I need to get different saddles? Does the new swaybar fit in the same spot as the original? Also where the links attach to the chassis there seems to be a removable bracket, not sure if I need to remove them to mount the new longer links. Seems like the new links will hang quite low otherwise.

Are the new links adjustable? Did you specify how much lift you had when buying the links? I'm have a 24mm rear seat bay, it's awesome. You should be setting your link length so the arms of the sway bar are flat and horizontal.
Sorry I can't remember about the saddles. I thinkminecame with appropriate bushes to fit the existing saddles.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

They are adjustable links, supposed to fit a 2" to 8" lift. Mines 2". I was gonna use them on the shortest setting hence having a 2 inch lift. I'm gonna ring them today anyway as the swaybar is the wrong one I think, as it's a different shape to the original and it's going to touch the diff housing. Think I will have to remove the extended link brackets on the chassis for the new longer links as the swaybar will angle down a fair way instead of being horizontal.

Doesn't sound right to me. Hit them up for the bushes too mate. I am positive I got the bushes, I must have! Must fit in the factory saddles I think.

You may even have to trim the thread to length to suit your lift height.
