Whiteline front anti-roll bar issue

I forgot to add. The lesson is if the car is on the rack, grab a flashlight and check everything you can underneath.

OP
Great they sent you a new bar, hope you enjoy it without any hassle

One more reason I'm glad I went with Hotchkis

yah, besides the crummy bushings the bar itself is tuned very well to the stock suspension. i use the soft setting (hole near the bar ends).

hope they included the metal clamps in ur replacement set. those bars use to come with this rubber ring + hose clamp which slid on the bar.

Is it just me or does it look like 1/3 of the bar was already damaged badly seeing how it has rust forming.

I believe that's what got them to just send me a new bar instantly. This car wasn't driven in salt at all this past season and I have put less than 3k miles since the install.

Just my

but if I was you I'd just sell the new one when it arrives and use the money to get a Hotchkis front bar.

I am thinking about changing my Whiteline to Hotchkis for the sole reason that I would be able to sell the swaybars as set faster, I like the car balance after removing the rear swaybar. Is it stiffer? Weight wise?

Sorry to OP as I am asking here

Haha its ok! We're all buddies here, at least it's relevant. Once I start tracking this year I'm going to start a thread like yours.

The whiteline is a heavy bar definitely. I have not held a hotchkis unfortunately so I can't give you a weight comparison. If the hotchkis is tubular, id imagine it's lighter. I did hear that the Hotchkis is stiffer, but not adjustable. I'm not at that level where i would change my swaybar stiffness to match my suspension needs... yet..

I'm definitely considering it. But could I sleep with myself knowing i may put someone else less mechanically inclined at risk... No. I'm going to test this new bar through and through. IF it snaps mid turn at the track this year, you guys are going to hear about it.
