Has anyone tried to install these WITHOUT removing the front sway bar?:scratchhe
I already have the Racing Beat front sway on the car and now that I am tracking the car decided to upgrade the links.
I really don't want to pull that bar off. :Freak_ani

Why would you need to take the bar off? Just take the stock endlink out and put the RB endlink in. You'll most likely need to jack up the hub to get the endlink to reach.

Stock endlinks are 10MM where RB are 12MM.
You have to drill the A-Arm and Sway Bar.

Because he has to drill out the hole in the hub and on the sway bar. You should be able to get the drill in there. Worst case you might have to take the sway bar loose and move it around to get the right angle.

Oh very true. I myself have the RB bar and Endlinks and forgot about the drilling. If you turn the hub it might be possible to drill the holes without taking off the bar.

Yes, I think you can do this without removing the bar. Drilling the bar would be the hardest part, you would need to secure it to some part of the car so it wouldn't move while you drill. A right angle drill might also help.

I had to take the bar out to put them in. There was no way to get the drill in there at a proper angle and you really don't want to mess that up.
