Default swaybar question......need input.

when i try to lift my swaybar up and out of the way while disconnecting, it gets hung up on the round tubing that sticks out from the frame. it is almost impossible to get back and forth over that point. i had to use a hammer yesterday to get it done. is this normal??? i think i am going to grind some off of the sticking point. any ideas or suggestions?

Free bump

I don't understand exactly your problem. Probably that's why you don't have any reply since yesterday...

I wouldn't know much about your problem either.
The most trouble I have with my swaybar is when I reach down and hit the wrong button

I agree. I'm having a hard time visualizing this one.

Your swaybar should not have interference with anything.

It just swivels up and down while holding onto the swaybar links which in turn attach to your axle.

Is this only happening on one side? If so, your swaybar has most likely shifted over a bit because your axle is not perfectly centered. Try taking a pry bar to it to shift it over. You will probably want to check to make sure your axle is centered and if it isn't, you will need to adjust your trackbar.

Dude, if your installers didn't center your axles, that'd be icing on the cake.
