I was under the Marauder finalizing a few things when I noticed the anti-sway bar had shifted over an inch toward the driver's side front wheel....WHAT???:eek:

I took a rubber hammer and whacked it back in place and called Addco to inquire how to stop it from "walking" side-to-side??:confused: I was told by the "Tech Guy" that it has been a problem and they have rubber collars that clamp around the bar to keep it in place!! He also said some of the "Cop Cars" got so bad the end links were rubbing the front tires!!:eek:

FWIW....he said they should ship the collars with the bars but hey don't...at least not yet!!:shake:

Great CS......sending me new bushings and collars free...I just had to pay shipping!!:beer:

Sounds kinda like a "Silent TSB" to me so check yours to see if it's moving around!!:cool:

Everbody email Addco and complain the missing parts must be standard.

Yelp their ass to change.

You can also buy the collars at any ace hardware very cheap , no need to pay shipping and have to wait.

Got my front bar in a couple weeks ago and got the aluminum collars also. They should be supplying this stuff standard, especially for what you pay for the bars.

Did you use the same size collar as the bar - 1" & 1.25" or smaller diameters?

Front bar came with collars 1.25" , rear bar did not , and i see no need for collars on the rear bar.

Mine was only off 1/2" or so and refused to stay dead center. Call it OCD or more shiny stuff, definitely not really needed.

My Addco front bar came with the anti-walk collars standard also. No problems. :coolman:

Be glad you guys don't have an 02- car. Collars or know, and with just about any size tires, you'll still rub on the swaybar at full lock. The newer design is a lot better in that regard
