Default 1” swaybar T/A cover?

Will a 1 inch swaybar mounted in the stock location clear a T/A cover/girdle on a stock rear without rubbing?

Thanks

John

I had to run spacers with my stock swaybar 12 bolt/LPW cover setup. Left the same spacers in place with the 25mm Spohn bar.

Where do the spacers go? Between the swaybar mount and the axle tube?

I'm running the ta cover on a stock rear.
I have a 21 mm bar. That's just about 3/16" smaller than a 1" bar.

I have about 3/8" clearance.

Adding 3/16" to the bar diameter, would put the bar 3/32" closer. (since half would go on each side...)

That leaves about 1/4" clearance at the closest point.

But it just depends on how the bar is bent. It could be bent with more or less offset than the 21mm '93 1LE bar I have.

Yup. Made them out of a piece of 1/4" flatbar. 2 on each side.

My 26mm Susp Tech bar cleared my TA cover on my 10 bolt, and it clears my Moser 9" too.
