Hey all was trying to fit the twosrus sway bar link kit to my adub, and the kits fouled so bad I couldn't turn full lock, which seemed weird.
So I put the factory ones back in and sure enough they foul too! Have any other adub owners had issues with the BC's? Seems odd it'd be so out

Here's how it looks (the link is pressing into the bracket there, about 3/4 of way to lock

Did you just buy these coilovers? Brand new?

I fitted a set that I bought the other day and the drop link doesn't touch at full lock.
Judging by the pic it appears you have the older design. They revised the drop link bracket a couple of years ago I think. Mine dont look like yours.

Hey mate, nah it had them on when I received the car so they could be +3 years. That's interesting though, thanks for letting me know! I might have to get mine remanufactured.
I have you gas strut too! I'm going to try and find some packing material at work and let you know what it'll cost :)

Mine are like mrskylighters and have a revised bracket, and also came with a set of front swaybar links that were 2 inches shorter than the factory ones so that the swaybar clears the lower control arm.

I have read one or two others having this issue, if you search through the suspension section of the forum, I think there is a way to rectify it floating around.

I figured I wouldn't be the only one, I'll have a look, thanks!
