Cobb's rear sway bar installed... Help.

After following instructions to the t, this is what it looks like...

Would you move the endlink to the inside?

If the car is on the ground it looks like it is installed incorrectly, almost looks like it is over to one side do you have a picture of the other side so we can do a comparsion..That might help..

The endlink should be on the inside of the sway bar end.

I've had a few people tell me that my Cobb Swaybar is identical to the design of a Hotchkis swaybar. Therefore, do I need to purchase Hotchkis endlinks to reduce binding on stiffer settings? Anyone know?

From what I was told from cobb the cobb is the same as the cusco bar.

You can get upgraded endlinks if you are tracking or auto-x's the car and the car see's alot of stress from extremely hard driving. With an upgraded endlink the swaybar will react quicker, the endlink will be stronger, and more than likely not brake. But it also may make the rear end step out on you quicker (oversteer) depending on what setting you have the bar on. But if you like that then give it a try but just be careful when testing it out at high speeds.

You should be fine with just the rear sway bar on whatever setting you have it. No need to really replace the endlinks unless you just want to spend money or if it breaks.

This is just my $.02

Cusco doesn't offer hollow sway bars or anything close to that diameter. Hotchkiss are the most similar bars. Whiteline offers big bars too, but nothing hollow.

In case you didn't get instructions with your COBB bars, they now have instructions with pics available online from their website.

I'm running the factory endlinks with the rear bar in the middle setting since July 2004. It seems to creak on occasion but not all the time. Not sure if that means its binding or not...
