Default small issue bolting up strano rear bar to fab 9
i have a MWC fab 9. i got a set of strano bars used with the bushings and mounts. the bushing sticks out of the mount about a heavy 1/8". obviously poly isn't goona give much, and if i mount as is, the metal bracket won't be making contact with the rear. so im goona stack washers to fill the space between the bracket and rear. anyone else have this issue?

Sounds like a valid repair when pairing two different manufacturers products. I'd say you're good to go.

I am running both MWC Fab 9" and a Strano sway bar and have zero issue with the bushing sticking out past the flange surface. Should be an easy fix with the washers though.

Oddly enough i needed no washers. Even tho the bushing stuck out almost 1/8 of an inch it compressed well. Surprised
