Worx Tuning Sway Bar Install How-To - Page 3

Other posts have talked about making sure that the bolts are torqued to spec. What are those specs?

Ahhh. Never Mind I saw them now.

I felt comfortable about this install going into the project, but I've hit a wall. Hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem. I plan on using the stock rear endlinks and mounts with a 24 mm Whiteline bar. My problem is that all four 14mm endlink nuts are spinning with the bolt. I soaked with PB Blaster. Even if I could vise-grip the bolt, how would I tighten it after the switch? I removed the fronts with ease. I see no indication of a bolt head or place to hold the bolt to keep it from spinning. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hey JPW ERASER...where did u get that spoiler with the carbon fiber?

On this install... how much angle is too much on the endlinks when doing a bar/link/mount install? I have my rear ones (Perrin) have a bit of an angle pointing drivers side is L-to-R and passenger side R-to-L but want to make sure.

I'm having problems taking off the stock sway. I got all the bolts except the passenger mount, the one where it is RIGHt between these two fat metal bars, with the heat shield. I even tried taking the heat shield off, but stupid Hme stripped the bolt pretty bad, though I did also strip the main bolt a bit, but if I could get full leverage, I could probably take it off. How did you guys handle this? and no I refuse to accept time and patience as an answer

anybody?

Can anyone provide the part number for a rear sway bar mount? I managed to break mine this weekend. SubaruGenuineParts.com has a rear sway bar mount for the 'impreza model'. Will this fit the STi?

Would an aftermarket mount be a better route? Whiteline offers a bracket specifically designed for the 24mm Sway Bars that looks beefy. Can I expect any significant increase in performance (if at all)?

If anyone has the aftermarket mounts, could you tell me if the stock sway would fit on those mounts as well?
