19Cutlass94 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Came someone tell me why my addco bar keeps moving? I had it set up perfect, no rubbing or anything, then I rotated my tires and check my brakes, and its rubbing the inner fender well yet again. Why is this bar moving? cany help would be great. Quote
blackbombshell95 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 I have the old bar and mine has never rubbed on the inner fenderwell. But it did rub on the center alignment arms. Do you have a picture of where it is rubbing? edit for more info** I have a 1.5" rear drop with my coilovers. Are you lowered? Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted July 28, 2008 Report Posted July 28, 2008 Mine and GOT2BGM's both rub too! I wish I knew why it was moving, I don't think it has to do with the bushings, because I have the rubber and Matt has poly mounts for his. Although, Matt came up with a way we think might stop it, neither of us has had a chance to try it yet though. The plan is to buy a couple split collars from TSC or another hardware store and put them on the bar right next to the center mounts, because they are clamp on and will be tighter than the rubber bushings, they should hold the bar in place. Use one with 2 bolts rather than one so you don't have to slide it down the length of the bar. Jamie Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 thanks! ill have to look into that. althogh im really not looking foward to aligning the bar again... Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 thanks! ill have to look into that. althogh im really not looking foward to aligning the bar again... At least it will be the last time you have to do it! Jamie Quote
AWeb80 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 fixed this problem over 5 yrs ago.....and they are still there..... I made some clamps at work...but Jamie has the right idea. Quote
blackbombshell95 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I also had those brackets. They flew off of my car several times. Good fun looking for them in the ditch. Not sure what I did differently on the install lol. But the poly bushings of the correct size fixed my bar sliding problem completely. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Posted November 8, 2008 Sorry to bring this topic back up, but im getting all the parts I need to work on my car now, and Ive got eveything to rebuild my coilovers, and im moving onto my sway bar. Should I get greaseable bushings for the rear or no? I know I need some type of collar to hold it in place though. But is it worth it to get the greaseable ones? Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Matt (GOT2BGM) got poly bushings for his (he bought the bar and hardware from www.p-s-t.com) and they don't need to be greased because they are graphite impregnated. Might want to see what they can do for you. Jamie Quote
5speedz34 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Adam that setup looks sooo jerry rigged. I'm sorry. Quote
BXX Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 Adam that setup looks sooo jerry rigged. I'm sorry. Yup, im soooo glad I went with the 22mm Gen1.5 bar... Quote

Jamie Ill have to take a look and see. i dont know the condition of my current bushings, and all i need are some spacers by the struts, and im ready to work on the car.

AWeb80 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 Adam that setup looks sooo jerry rigged. I'm sorry. It might be....but my engineering finesse has it fixed to where I haven't touched it in 10k miles. still good as new Quote

The 22mm bar sitting on my CS right now, and another in my garage aka, 7/8" bar off of 95 Monte Carlo (not all) and possibly some 95 Monte Carlos Quote
BXX Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 '95 MC's got it supposedly No supposedly, they did, but not all... Both my bars I have were from 95 MC Z34s... 96 is the year they supposedly have it, I think Piston.Hurricane did get ones off a 96 MC LS. Of course, its hard to tell the difference from the 22mm bar to the more standard 20mm bar without Kens trained eyes or actually comparing them or using a set of calipers to measure with Quote

Of course, its hard to tell the difference from the 22mm bar to the more standard 20mm bar without Kens trained eyes or actually comparing them or using a set of calipers to measure with I pulled two 22mm bars from the junkyard...'95 Monte Z34 and a '95 Lumina LS. Both bars had the same yellow "WM" tag with the part number 10248629 and are 7/8". One for my car. Sold the other. Also pulled a set of tubular lateral arms from a '98 Grand Prix GT. Got pretty lucky the last couple weekends Quote
Crazy K Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 two cars are confirmed to have the larger bar. 1995 3.4 MC, and 1995 3.4 lumina. Quote
