Steps to install. 1. Remove both front wheels 2. Disconnect end links 3. Removing bushings and brackets. 4. Remove 1 tie rod end. 5. Twist the stock bar out one end. Make sure the ends of the bar are above the tie rods. 6. Put in the new bar 7. Tighten bushings and brackets. 8. Tighten end links. I could not reuse the poly end links because they were to small. Stock for now. Car is much more neutral now. I have a 25mm rear sway. Haven't really gotten to rip into her yet. It's a bar and the car feels stiffer. No engine lifting is needed on the 3.6. Hope this helps fellow members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschmelcke Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 The worst part of all of this is I won't be driving the car for 2 weeks. Oh well the hard part is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschmelcke Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 I also went from poly bushings back to rubber so that may be why. I am looking for 26mm bushings but only whiteline makes them and they are not available in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadracer Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I picked up mine today and I'm super stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Awesome. I am working with an Australian company for poly bushings and brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qship Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Any impression yet? Regarding the whiteline poly bushings I ordered the whiteline front lca bushings for my 2011 through www.globalperformanceparts.com, who is a whiteline distributor, even though they weren't available in the US yet. I'm pretty sure that since it was part of their regular order from AUS there was only the UPS charge from Michigan. This may be more cost effective.

sschmelcke Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Mrt performance has a set and are shipping them to me as we speak. It's not as huge of a difference as a rear bar. Car handles more neutral. Tracks better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschmelcke Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 No but I went From poly to rubber bushings. It's actually smoother. I'm assuming that will change when my poly come In Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qship Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thanks for the response. The bushing part# 20414AJ10A is coming up as 25mm diameter. Did you have to modify the bushings at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 The bushings are always a MM smaller. The stock ones were 22 but it was a 23 mm bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadracer Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Finally got around to installing mine. I had to get help with the tie rod. It was a lot of turning, twisting but it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadracer Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thankfully my neighbor was a master mechanic. I actually had a pickle fork but it just looked like it would mangle the tie tie rod end. When i placed the fork on the tie rod it pushed some of the grease out. My neighbor stopped over with a small hammer and one tap on the castle nut it fell out.Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
