Hah, yeah... but why upgrade suspension in the Winter tho. :eek:

Given my lack of a busy schedule... i'm sure it'll get done soon enough.

:happydance:

so you got the bar in? thought you were still waiting on the bar to arrive.. if youre calling the shots, then that's cool.

Oh ur right... i have the new BUSHINGS, but not the new bar... i should call on that today... thanks for the reminder Kenchan!!

:tup:

:rofl2: wtf~

Update

Which would you rather have holding YOUR sway bar in place.
- The yellow bushing is a part number for a different bar but is FAR more substantial than the "universal" bushing on the right.
- Both have the same InnerDiameter

Update #2

Even with the giant yellow bushing instead of the cheap one included in the 370z package... the bushing still spits out slightly under certain conditions.

Avoid this bar unless you don't drive your car hard... then you're fine.

:roflpuke2:

Thanks for all the updates on this, guess Ill go with another bar then.

Do what i can for the community :tiphat:

Thank you for taking one for the team :tiphat:

Sorry. Love mine. No issues after one year.

I to have had no problems.

:icon18:

Kangaroo technology :rock:

Are we sure we are all installing the bushing and the clamps on the correct sides of the mounts?? Both are kind of important.

I have whiteline sway bars and I havent had any issues yet. Installed in April I think. I don't have any track days but I do have some good spirited driving including the Dragon from ZDayZ last year.

I should go look though. Luckily my car is already on jack stands so it should be really easy to see.

Bushing lip goes on inside of bracket.
Lateral-lock goes on inside of that.

Both sides being held in place by their respective lock and bushing lip.

I think i got that right?

- Final Update -

The Whiteline front anti-roll bar lasted all winter with the yellow upgraded bushings.

Now that i put summer tires back on BINK the bar's bushing spit out once again. I'm DONE.

The Whiteline front anti-roll bar is not suited to aggressive driving.
Conclusion: Do not purchase this bar if you plan on tracking your 370z.

So sad.

:shakes head: so sad.

thanks for the follow up, osborn. so wat bar are you looking at now?

i have a backup set of stillens which i plan to swap out just the front if this happens to me.
The middle setting is close to the whiteline's torsion rate from the read.

I'd go with Hotchkis or Eibach. I have the latter and haven't had any issues with spirited driving and/or tracking.

Good to know!

but as a side note, nobody had issues with Whiteline either :rolleyes:

I'll see what other reviewers have said about the competitors. :-)

I've had good luck with the Hotchkis bars. The only thing that needs done, is wrapping the bushing area on the bar with pipe teflon tape. This keeps the bar from sqeeking.

if you have the same problems with another brand of bars, it could only mean one thing...

you drive too damned fast. slow down. :rofl2:

I have the stillen sway bars set and I never had a single issue. And yes, I drive the car like I stole her all summer and never an issue.

I believe it. My G has stillens since 2004.. lol no issue


Another reason why I have a set as kangaroo backup.

MANY track days, and trust me when I say I drive hard. No issues with my whiteline and I just checked it...still perfectly centered

Now I'm going to ask MY question. With the install, how tight was the bushing on the swaybar? In other words, when lubed, was the bar able to rotate freely? If not, the bushing may have been too tight on the bar, causing binding! You can either grind down the "block" side of the bushing to make that fit nicer or put washers underneath the bracket (which is what I did) to give more clearance to the bushing, and less bind on the bar.

Tracy Ramsey

I think it's their "lateral locks" that they think are so clever, which are the culprit. Maybe i'll ditch those??

no, you need that, otherwise it will make the situation even worse!

make sure there is no more than 0.2mm play on each end. that pretty much fixed my kangaroo situation.

Oh yeah, when i put those on there... they were right up on the bushing.
I'll be putting the stock bar back on tonight, so i'll be able to report for sure the thunkage. :icon17:

Sorry to bring this post back from 2015. But, it also means i did my homework.
It is now 2017, and i am wondering if this issue has been resolved with Whiteline.

I don't think i will track my car, but I still want some trouble free (front only) sway bar.
