Unhappy GMPP Sway Bar Installation?

Hey, I'm installing the new performance GM sway bar in my GT and am wondering how I get it to go in without rubbing the tie rods when I turn. I have everything bolted down tight and it seems that they want to rub every time I make an extreme turn to the left or the right.

I read on another forum that you need to install the middle V upwards, which I did..so don't understand why the bar is rubbing.

Any insight would help from you guys, thanks.

Re: GMPP Sway Bar Installation?

the middle looks like an upside down V. I installed one on my car too and every now and then heard a crunch when I turned all the way one way. Wondered whats going on???? Later I changed my oil and noticed that it was my tie rods rubbing the sway bar. I took mine apart, endlinks off, midpoints out. Then I greased my midpoints with some chassis lube, made sure they were centered, and put it back together. No problems since.
