So I've just installed the rebuilt steering rack, and the tie rods hit the sway bar at full lock.? ?I've read that the sway bar has a right side up and upside down, but when I put this thing on the bench, I couldn't tell any difference.? ?Am I likely to have it on upside down?? ?Esprit S1, by the way.? ? In other news, the tie rod ends I purchased are 3/8" longer than the ones that came off, so even screwed in all the way I don't think I'll get enough toe-in.? ?So I'm thinking of shortening the new ball joints, or re-greasing and changing the rubber on the old ones, as they seem tight.

Hi Shane. Don't change course in regard to the tie rod ends until you've proven they'll be problematic. It's always possible that our aftermarket sources provide bits in need of tinkering but I'd be surprized if that were the case here.

As to the right way up for A-R bar your on bench examination is correct, it goes either way up. Weirdly, it is normal that the bar and tie rods come into contact with suspension at full droop, not a comforting situation but apparently not troublesome in driving situations.

Thank you.? ?I'll leave it as is for now.? ?Not a big deal to fix or change them later.? ?That's a relief about the Anti Roll Bar.? ?It's a pain to install!
