lintlars,Aug 24 2008, 05:04 AM Wrote:Ok I just installed my eibach sway bar set front and rear with new end links in front now under hard left hand cornering the exhaust is hitting enouh to dent the heat sheild under the car, with the car in the air the muffler has .5"-3/4" of clearance I cannot physically make it hit were its hitting? My only idea is maybe the motor mounts are flexing under the hard cornering causing the muffler to hit? I checked everything twice now and everthing is were is supposed to be,It also does this coming into my driveway? Any ideas has anyone had this issue before?
Thanks
edit the muffler is under the vehicle not at the rear

I remember reading a post somewhere (sorry, don't remember exactly) but someone said that the front swaybar install required the loosening of the exhaust to allow the subframe to drop and when it was reinstalled it was put back moved slightly forward which caused it to hit the car ... might have been Anton (paulicat)
