JPSS rear sway bar install help? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Help! This won't work, lol. Same on both sides. The bar came with 2 different sized bushings and I used the ones that were closest to the stock ones, the smaller set.
My car is lowered 1" on Koni orange shocks.

I maybe should have cropped the picture: the bar is hitting the body mount, at rest.

Here are the instructions. I don't believe it's upside down or backwards but I could be wrong. And the shaft end links could be wrong, I went from 2011 style to 2012+ style (straight) and I wasn't sure how they went. I mean there's only 2 holes, 1 in the shaft and 1 in the LCA. But I could have the pieces out of order or something. And I also put the nut on the bottom but I can't see that making a difference like this but again, I'm not sure.

Yep, did that. I figured they'd be "off" for the weekend and wanted to see if anyone here could help before Monday. I'm not trying to blast them or anything. I'm sure it's something I did incorrectly.

Flip the bar and life is good.

If the bar is contacting the subframe mounts then the bar is upside-down/reversed - I'm fairly confident this is the case because I did the same thing lolol

All is well!!!

The removal instructions are great. The rear install, not so much.

I hope I was supposed to use that lube on everything, lol.
