Hi guys, i just installed my RSX S rear sway bar, the bolt on the endlinks wont go in all the way just like the oem sway bar...It is not going on the left or right..Is that the way it sits? is it normal? it feels better tho! The rear end keeps up with me!!!
Sweet ride!!!
Here is a pic:

pic is hard to make out, but there is a flat shoulder-thing on the bolt. It should be snug up against the sway bar.

make sure the sway bar is not upside down, it looks very similar.

you might have put sway bar upside down.
you said you have type s sway bar. which is 19mm . not ctr sway bar.

Not really upside down, but facing the wrong way :D

yup, the swaybar is defently installed wrong, it upside down or backwards what ever you want to call it. right now when you get close to the endlinks it looks like a hill going down (v) if you will. it's suppose to be like (^), a mountain going up. i hope that helps and sorry it's such a terrible comparsion.

Installed mine today, looks exactly the same. Hard to make it fit right, the aftermarket ones look like they sits just right. While the Type-S bar fits kinda funny, felt great taking her around the block. Next week I will get under there again to see if I can position them better.

The bar is too high
loosen everything and puch the sway tips down and readjust the endlinks. Should work ;)
