rather than add the front replace the rear with stock if the jiggle is still there its not the bar

my money is the car is unbalanced because of the bar the front has more movement than the rear so its twisting the car

its weird but he is describing it pretty accurately if you take off your front roll bar and leave the rear on you might get the same result :lol: or worse

Took a look under the car earlier to see what it looks like sitting on its own weight and the bottom of the end links are at an extreme angle compare to the top of the endlinks.
Also i think the bar was tightened up on the lift and not on the cars weight to properly preload it.
So i need to try and properly loosen the preload and tighten the endlinks uo and the rear suspension is loaded and or maybe make shorter endlinks.
This could be the problem.
Its tight and preloaded and its not giving any freedom in the rear forcing the rear motion to bounce around.

you need a pit then or get the cars weight onto blocks so you set the preload from underneath who fitted the bar?

you should never fully tighten anything until its on its wheels is it supposed to come with its own droplinks i seem to remember one of the aftermarket bars came with its own links

You can't preload an anti roll bar. Everything that attaches pivots. Does not matter if it was up or down when fitted.

Well you can. Just done it.
Jacked the rear end up then loosened the end links jacked both rear hubs up then tightened everything up. The end links now sit at a better angle.

Honestly is a night and day difference in ride comfort. Far less springyness and bumpyness. Not much difference in handling that was amazing anyway. Ride comfort is now almost the same as the stock roll bar. Only slightly more bumpy at the rear.
