Rear Sway Bar Slider Mounts


These mounts for the Impreza and Forester models are designed to allow for proper end-link alignment when using our adjustable Tubular Rear Swaybar.

Slider mounts

Cad designed and CNC machined from billet 6061-T6 and clear hard anodized for a long lasting finish all hardware supplied is high quality stainless steel.  Easy bolt in replacement for the existing heavy duty mounts, or maybe substituted when purchasing a new Sway Bar kit.  May be compatible with other Rear Sway Bar kits, but it is NOT guaranteed.

The images below illustrate the issue with rear end link alignment when using the different sway bar mounting holes.  As you use the stiffer sway bar settings, the rear end link is placed at a compromised angle which reduces effectiveness and increases the chance of the end link bending.  Changing the sway bar design would only change what positions compromise the rear end link angle.

Examples of rear end link alignment

With the Adjustable Slider Mounts in place, you can now adjust the sway bar's position with relation to the end link.  This allows you to keep the end link in the most effective position relative to its pickup point on the sway bar.

Examples of end links with slider mounts in place

Below is an image of the Adjustable Slider Mount in the configuration used when the sway bar is at its stiffest setting (moved forward).  The design, which was improved using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) design tools, provides higher rigidity even in this configuration compared to the standard Heavy Duty mounts we supply as standard with our Tubular Sway Bar kits.  Adjustments are made by moving the slider plate into the optimal position and securing with the supplied hardware.
