Hi guys,
I've installed a total prothane bushing kit in my 2gb talon, and the front and rear sway bar bushings (19mm) are too small, with the bushings attached to the bar there is about a 1/2" open gap. Is there a way to tell if my sway bars are aftermarket? both the front and rear sway bars were red in color however over time the red paint has flaked off and they are not 100% red anymore, I'm not sure did the OE sway bars come from factory painted red?
Also I managed to bolt up the rear sway bar with the smaller bushing, however there is a gap and the bracket is pretty tight. Will having a gap and really tight bracket be doing more harm then good?
Lastly is there any cons about drilling the bushings to fit my sway bars?
Thanks for all the help.
