Sway bar question
I just got my tires rotated and my mechanic said my sway bar was upside down. I took some pictures of it and i was hopping you guys could tell me. I do have a 6'' Superlift installed if that make a difference. I also asked the shop that installed the lift if the bar was the right way they said yes. so i thought i would ask you guys.

Re: Sway bar question
Something is amiss but, I do not know the details of your lift. Did a national chain do your lift? If so, who?

Re: Sway bar question
The lift was put in by a local 4x4 shop called New Vision they are the ones that said everything is ok with it.

Polyurethane front sway bar bushings
Front sway bar quick disconnect
You are missing a couple washers and a spacer. I'd also try rotating the bar to the top side of the a-arm mount to see if it will line up better. Check the Superlift website and see if the install directions are there for the correct install directions.

Re: Sway bar question
There was no need to flip the sway bar installing the lift and I really cannot picture in my mind if, it would create the angle. I just know that is not normal. I've not looked at the 6" SL SL instructions in many years. There's some modifications to those links. I just looked at mine to make sure. Have you looked at any other S-10 forums and searched? Are your tires being worn in a manner that you think you have a problem? Are you rotating them on a regular basis?

Re: Sway bar question
i just found out about the sway bar so i have not looked into it very much. My passanger side tires have been wearing more then the driver side, i do rotate the tires regularly. i have a alignment set up for tommorow. i am thinking about sending the pics to SuperLift and asking them what the 4x4 shop did wrong.
