V8 swappers... Sway bar clearance


Recommended Posts

So has anyone else with a v8 had the oil pan hit the sway bar? I swapped the pans from a rear sump to get off the cross member, just to have the front sump hit the bar. Lol.

Still early in the process so not worried yet. But Im interested in any fedback.

Thanks, Ben

The JZ guys have the same problem. Most (including myself) just aren't running them. You need to shorten the end links and space the mounts. Mad Dax did a good job on his and has good pictures.. Ladocia's build.

I have no front sway bar on mine, I want to try the spacers to make it work though because I really don't like the compromise in handling. I'd like to take some measurements and head to a few junk yards and see if I can get lucky with another sway bar that fits better.

I made spacers with 2" square tubing and works fine

 

plus it protects the front of the oil pan seeing that im lowered on d2 coilovers
