Whiteline sway bar question

[vwdave]

Hi guys,

I bought the adjustable whiteline front/rear bars about 2 years ago for my 68 1500. I still haven't got it on the road, but about 6 months ago i pulled the bars out of their boxes as i was working on the floorpan. To say i was disappointed would be an understatement. The front setup is poor and in my case there is not enough thread on the shock stud to even do it up; once the link bracked is on. Rear setup not much better with the funny angles that the s-links sit at- i noticed this also from pictures in tech articles- SANDEEP's ride.

I was not happy so i took heaps of digital photos and emailed them to technical manager at Whiteline. After a few emails he conceded that they did not appear to fit properly and we discussed options for fixing the problem. Unfortunately I am now in Norway and have not followed this up any further. I pretty much decided that i will just design and manufacture my own front/ rear sway bars and linkages. Not sure i will ever be happy with the quality of the bars i have.

GS Guy : Not a great idea to mount the linkage on the end of the lower shock stud- i did some calculations and found that it was not extremely safe considering the loading and fatigue factors.

SORRY for the story

Good Luck

Dave
