Anybody else found the sway bar rubs the heck out of the bottom coil wrap on the new WE 2.5 coil-overs?
I thought it was the bushings making all that racket up front, so I loosened and re-torqued everything with weight on the wheels. and STILL had a squeeking noise from the wheel wells. Finally I got MrsApexbasher to push the front end down while I poked around underneath. BINGO! Swaybar was firmly in contact with the very bottom coil. I sprayed a little wd40 at the spot and all went silent. I have since pulled the swaybar and ground off fairly large amount of material from the offending area and now have perhaps 1/8 of gap between now. I called All-Pro to let them know and he seemed surprised I had an issue. "Never heard any problems from these on the FJ", was his statement.
That's okay, I will be on the phone with them on Monday because they sent the wrong dang bushings for one of the ends on my new rear lower links. DRAT! I wanted those on for Hard Rock tomorrow...:mecry:
