I noticed some pulling and uneven dampening and noticed some anomaly with the sway bushing with small tears and paint worn off the sway. I re greased em and reinstalled them. Better at first still not right. Put on the OEM 15mm bar perfect. Bought new energy suspension bushings and they wont line up level because the bar is bound up on the side that had the torn bushing and strange wear on the bar. I also had trouble with the endlinks aligning:
Left side | Rightside/
No accident either.

Forum is acting funny:
"Drew1d has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Bent comptech rear sway - in the Suspension | Wheels and Tires forum of ephatch.com forum."
"Is there any loose play in the rest of the suspension? I suppose the bar could bend if you fishtail a lot."

Yeah I give the suspension a workout and I have some expansion joints that are pretty harsh that i drive on frequently. I guess I need a new rear sway the 15mm OEM one isn't going to cut it for long! I wonder if there are any CTR 22mm ones around?

icb motorsports has them in stock now, or you can get the 05-06 type S sway (21mm) for more cheaper, in case you bend another one is a cheaper replacement. :mwink:
