Default Sway Bar Fitment*
New Spohn front sway bar rubbing strut no matter any bolt tightening sequence. Wrong bar?

My front Strano bar was knocking when I first installed it. The front brackets have some adjustment, loosen everything up and slide the bar towards the front of the car and see if that works.

Can't see from the picture. Does your old and new bar line up when held over each other? Do the mounts and link points fall in the same spot and then do the bends between differ and cause this issue?

This is as good as I can get. Matching the bars up the new one was about a half a hole off, end to end.

The pics above are as good as I can split it. Haven't driven car yet due to waiting on brakes. Gonna call Spohn today and see if it was factory defect and try to get new one shipped if so, we'll see*

Front brackets? Only bracket here is where bar and bushing bolt up and it isn't adjustable. I had to adjust side to side*
