Default Moser 12 bolt and sway bar

Hey all. When I had my 12 bolt installed, the sway bar had to be removed because it wouldnt fit. Lately Ive been having a lot of trouble with wheelhop. It still handles the same, but the wheel hop is atrocious. Would the lack of a swaybar be contributing to the wheelhop? Should I buy an aftermarket swaybar? And if so, which one?

LCA relocation brackets should solve this problem. Sway bar will help. I'll let someone else chime in on recommendations.

The stock swaybar should have fit with the 12bolt. What was the problem with it?

Im not sure, I had it put on by a shop and they said it wouldnt fit. Either way I no longer have the swaybar.

I honestly don't see how it handles the same...I stepped up from a 19mm bar on the rear to a 25mm, and the difference was huge. I can't even begin to imagine what kinda boat your car feels like without...

If it didn't fit, it was because it was hitting the cover during suspension travel. Spohn as well as others make a kit so that you won't have this problem...get a bar on there. I would almost guarantee you that is what is causing your problems with wheel hop. You have nothing there to resist the axle twisting (besides the springs), and you need something. They don't put them on there for no reason you know...

I agree with all above but it semms retarded that a shop would just not install it.. all you need is a kit (like mentioned above) .. stupid shop....

Hey Spohn,
Could you please do a GP on the swaybar mount kit?

Thanks,
Kevin
