Has anyone been able to bet the clamshell bottom into that little slot it's supposed to be in? I couldn't get mine in there and still start the bolt. If I use a stud like this I should be able to. Thanks.
I installed my eibach swaybars tonight after work and I have to say this is one of the best improvements I have made so far! I really felt uncomfortable pushing this car around corners, but not anymore, now I am ready for our pt club's hwy 49 cruise this weekend!

Chrysler is nuts when they say that the addition of a rear swaybar is dangerous, I think it should be the other way around! Did you know when you order the rear bar mounting parts it directs the parts guy to a TSB 02-004-02 through a global parts order processing service repair tips document, crazy [:0]!

If you do not install the bracket in the slot you are going to bend and break the brackets and the bar is not going to work like it should either!

I did not have any problem with the bracket. I installed the brackets into the slot with the forward bracket flipped down and then slid the bar/bushing in. I used a needle nose vise grip and clamped it closed. I just used a open end wrench to hold the nut behind the mounting bracket and just lined up the hole in the bracket with the nut. Took about 1 1/2 hour to install the front and rear bars.

It is very important that you tighten everything up when the vehicles weight is resting on the suspension! I have to admit, it is a lot easier when you have a lift and alignment rack at your disposal !
