    Drop arms hitting on sway bar mount bracket bolt. Any fixes?

    G'day guys,
    I have recently fitted a set of 4" drop arms from superior and I just noticed that its bashing the heads off the front lower sway bar bracket on the chassis, and i havent even flexed the ol' girl up yet?! And considering i lashed out on these arms with the intention of getting my lift engineered this is a bit of a setback. I DO NOT want to get rid of the mounts as I'll be refitting the sway bars, and an engineer will laugh at my attempt for police immunity if he sees that rubbish.

    Now does anybody have a fix, ideas, seen it before, any other information?

    Cheers in advance.

    Got any pics mate?

    You are talking about the brackets on the outside of the chassis where the pins go to?

    I have no idea how to post pictures. I'll see if I can figure that out. Until then, yeah newby the brackets on the outside of the chassis where the pins go. The bottom front bolt its bashing. Considering that it hasnt even been flexed up it will hit on the back one too. Its already put a small gouge on the drivers side arm so I'll be rippin the bolts out for now but I really need a permanent fix for legal reasons. If it wasn't for that I'd happily just rip em out.

    Go back to superior as they are supposed to be engineered aren't they?

    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.

    the easiest way to posting a pic is, just next to where you post a comment click the "go advanced" button/
    scroll down till you see the "mannage attatchments" button.
    on the pop up select "add photo" and find your photo from file on your computer and click done.

    this is not the only way but will get you started.

    Kelvinator,

    Are you using extended swaybar links, or are you using the standard links?

    Is it hitting on both sides or just 1.
    If it is hitting on both are there any other issues with steering?

    Maybe a adjustable Panhard help ( if hit on a single side ).
    A recessed head bolt ?
