2007 STi perrin rear sway bar problems

kiwee · 02-21-2008, 08:06 AM

i searched and didn't find a conclusive answer to the following;
was there clearance problems with the charcoal canister aka the black box?
was there issues with the stout mounts vs. hardware supplied?
just looking for other members' experiences.
thaks guys!

I would also like to know the solution to this problem.

I installed my Perrin rear swaybar last year and noticed the replacement mount block that they supplied was not going to fit with the black box. I phoned Perrin and was told to just mount it up and it would work fine.....but it doesnt?

I am running the stock mount on the right side of the car with the Perrin mount on the left side.

i have a perrin rear sway with stout mounts on my 07, had no issues putting em on. had to loosen the box to mount it but it went on with no problems.

Where did the box mount bracket go, on top of the perrin mount or underneath the mount?

Can you take a picture of it back together, cause I'm obviously not seeing it correctly.

month a half later and the stount mount ripped the nut & bolt from the subframe leaving a bibber hole in the sub-frame of the car. not happy.
getting fixed tonight.
installing cobb bars.

how are you fixing it? It's not the bar's fault one of the mount bolts came lose and all the force was put on one bolt. Same exact thing happened to me it's a bummer. I put the stock mount back on and welded it to the frame

what box are we talking about? Are we talking about that blackish plastic box by the tow hook? Do the cobbs fit with the box there?

yes that's the box the one one the rear passenger side of the car. It's the evap box for evaporated fuel emissions. the Cobb bars fit no problem. The mount is a pita because of the gas tank and the black box make it hard to get to the bolts holding the mount

Alot of people having issues with the Perrin bars it seems.
