front sway bar touching body?

[Danroyd]

hey my front seay bars touching the underbody and a mechanic was telling me it shouldn't be , how close are they normally when theve been lowered?

Where is it touching? - The mounts should hold it off the floor, and the drop-links should keep it clear where it's attached to the struts.

The only problem I've had is my exhaust hitting it when it's really hot because there's no flexi or compensator in the pipe.

can you adjust the droplinks to bring it down ?

can you adjust the droplinks to bring it down ?

Not unless you buy after-market droplinks.

Are those standard struts? Is it that the mounting point is in a different spot?

 

[Danroyd]

i think they are standard, i wonder if the droplinks are the wrong ones that are in there

 

[warpspeed]

Those droplinks are a fair bit longer than standard

Rears maybe?

 

[Danroyd]

yea well i did have the whole car put back together by a mechanic i wonder if he mucked up the rears and fronts. are the rears normally longer or shorter ?

 

[johnny gtir]

Shorter by a lot
Those look like they have seen better days so be worth replacing them

 

[Danroyd]
