Is the car running? If so, is it running normal?
Send me a pm I'll walk you through it all.
Yellow rag, if u r still on here...
This may be a long shot since this is an old post, but do you think the swaybar is a Steeda? It would be a larger than stock diameter. The reason I ask is because when I installed my Steeda swaybar for the 03/04 cobra, it hit my oil cooler and split the water line to the thermostat housing. I am now leaking oil from that area, which is how I found this thread.
I have been talking with Steeda to try and resolve, so I wanted to let them know I may not be the only one with this problem. I bought the swaybar, endlinks and swaybar brackets all from Steeda. I could not get it to fit right and have since put the factory bar back on. The only thing I kept on was the brackets (which btw, are wonderful!), because the factory ones bent.
Anyway, I want to tell Steeda about your situation so I can help them fix their design for terminators. If u know what endlinks are, or were on there, that would help. I think the Steeda endlinks are too short. Steeda ones only have a top nut and a bolt head on the bottom. Factory have nuts on the top and bottom.
And once again, more kudos for the write up, I will be testing it out soon.:thumbsup:
OK, what kind of cobra are you doing the rebuild on? My 01 did have any issues coming off. Did you already remove the shaft?
I had to use a pry bar to get mine off and lots of force.
Did you pry from underneath or get at it from up top?
