    IE Swaybar Install Question

    I just unpacked my IE sways in preparation for installing next week. Attached to the front adjustable endlinks is a triangular piece of metal that I wasn't 100% sure about. I am guessing that it needs to be welded to the control arm as a reinforcement?!? If this is so, do I need it welded on the top or bottom side of the control arm? Thanks.

    As far as I know, no reinforcement of the front pickup points is required. The rear must have the pickup points reinforced. The triangles furnished will work, but the type that Turner sells work a lot better since they triangulate the load.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Are you sure you aren't looking at the rears? The rear links have a triangular reinforcement that is welded to the mounting points.

        Thats exactly what I did- I was looking at the rears. Wow I feel dumb, especially because somewhere in my head I KNEW that the rears mounts were weak. Thanks for helping in my moment of stupidity- I will do better next time not to turn this into another Honda-Tech forum ;)
