Sway bars 120-130

HA;
Steering should obviously not be affected by ASB...but if it is, it suggests an interference (bad) or more likely something sloppy and hanging up in its range of travel (more likely)... this may be difficult to see while car is on a lift with wheels hanging down and suspension is unloaded...better yet, check from under the car (in a pit, or with car lifted by a style lift which supports the wheels) while suspension is compressed and in its normal position...then bring steering to lock position...by placing front tires on two sheetmetal plates with grease inbetween, you should be able to turn the suspension from lock to lock with little resistance while watching what is happening from below.
I do notice some scuffing on the side of the bar...steering stops could be adjusted to prevent this, but it doesn't bother me that terribly...it doesn't seem to "lock" or hold the steering wheel in my case.
I don't see where the brand of ASBs shouldnt matter much...

Cheers
