Just installed a Whiteline sway bar...
Installed my Whiteline FSB earlier today. Was a pretty straight forward job. Only issue I had during install was getting the new bar to line up with the end links. Lots of cussing, and it was done.
I noticed on the factory bar, that it had some type of retaining bushing with a metal band around them. Located on the inboard side of the factory clamps and bushings for the sway bar. I'm assuming those are so the sway doesn't move/slide through the bushings?
Well, the Whiteline bar didn't come with anything like this. Was worried it would somehow have an ill effect... but after plenty of driving today, everything seems perfect, and the front end seems solid. Should I look into getting some type of bushing with a band or hose clamp on the inboard sides of the new Whiteline clamps and bushings? Or is this not required?
Thanks for any help guys!

Hey I have the same bar and I just used the Whiteline clamps and bushings without anything more or special. I also had the fsb on when i went to driftwater and felt nothing wrong with the front end. My car handled like a dream than before the bar. I have to say that the fsb is one of my favorite handling mod that I've done.

I have the same bar. It basically settles into a final position where it wants to be and stays there. I've not had any issues at all, no rubbing on anything, etc. even though on my car, it seems to be biased towards one side a bit.

Thanks a lot for the responses guys!
It really is a great mod. I seriously couldn't believe how much it neutralized the car, especially with my non-staggered setup.

I bought this bar and I asked whiteline the same question on email a while back.
They said it should have the collars to stop lateral movement and sent me a set from australia.
