Whiteline Swaybar on xB
#61
Missing instructions
I got my Whiteline rear swaybar today. Unfortunately there were no instructions. Does anyone have the instructions that they could fax to me? I've send whiteline an email as well but I'd rather have the instructions sooner so I can install it this evening. By the time Australia is working it's too dark to install.
I also weighed the bar by hopping on my digital scale that reads in 1/2 pound increments and the bar and hardware weigh in at 12.5 lbs for those debating in the previous posts.

Thanks Hornet, I just installed it using previous pictures and this link
http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/ins...ar_general.pdf
I noticed that in the link you provided
http://groups.msn.com/Sorensonbrian/...struction.msnw
that he has the washers reversed from the whiteline .pdf
Probably doesn't matter much. Also when I installed it I didn't replace the shock washers with the L bracket, i just placed it over the washer. The nut still grabs on all the nuts threads.
Took me a little over an hour to install. Not difficult but a little frustrating if you don't have it up on ramps.
Corners much closer to neutral on a few jaunts around the block. Once traffic dies down in a couple of hours I'll take it on the freeway loops to see how she fairs. I suspect the tires are the next weak point.

I think I'm going to pick up the Energy Suspension bushing kit for the front swaybar(ENS-9-8122R ).
I know from another thread that I don't need the bolt and spacer that comes with the kit but I want to redo the rear swaybar links and use the bolt and spacer from the kit like Brian did here http://groups.msn.com/Sorensonbrian/...struction.msnw
as shown in the last couple of pictures.
I like the idea of a single bolt a spacer and a nylock nut, instead of a threaded bar, two nylock nuts and 2 regular nuts that comes stock with the Whiteline. Using the bolt and spacer from the Energy Suspension kit leaves alot less room for things loosening up and it's much easier to tighten the endlinks up to similar specs.

Well I have goldlines koni all around (on stiff) TRD rear frame brace, Progress, whiteline,Jic type1, hotchkis strut bar, Hotchkis front sway and a GTspec brace.
These things combined make for a rather rigid but fun ride

Domenick, That sounds like one very stiff set-up. Do you have and suspension travel when you hit bumps?I picture it riding like one of those 1/6th scale R/C xBs on a blacktop parking lot.
