Sway bar issues

I installed an upgraded roadmaster swaybar on my p30 pos. After torquing everything down the swaybar bushings seem deformed (see pics). Will it operate like this? I feel like no matter what i do this thing just doesnt sit right. The original swaybar had the exact same condition. Im at a loss with this thing.

  • Did you measure the between bump stop and frame?
    Your bushings on the lower a frame definitely look distorted.
    Looks like super steer bell cranks.

    I see blue springs. Are they variable rate replacements? If they are, was the rig weighed prior to ordering? if not variable rate, you need to install the air bags which rig should have had when new.


    They are supersteer coil springs that i did so i could eliminate the junk air bags that it came with. I had the rig weighed (with all my stuff in it) and ordered the correct spring rate based on the weight of my front axle. I think it was 5000 pounds.
