    Default Whiteline RSB design fault?

    Pretty sure mine sit out like that too.
    Same bar for gen1 and gen2
    No knocking from OEM endlinks so far which is surprising... :/

    no good assessing angles them when the wheels are off the ground. the whole suspension does sit at those angles normally when the full weight of the car is on it.

    but yes if you are using the regular ball and cup style endlink, then you are gonna get issues quick if those a ground level angles.

    This is mine on the ground. The bottom bolt is not at an angle, but you can see the one out the top is not at 90 degrees to the rest of the link.

    then you have something majorly wrong. as the lower blade should almost be horizental to the ground like in gibba photo. which is why you have weird bolt angles.

    I'm the same as you Luke. If one of my links is straight, then the other is on a big angle. My friend's Gen I SP23 has the same problem. I just assumed it was how all brands are. Maybe it's not? Don't have much faith in the company after how crap their own sway bar links are.

    Do you have an aftermarket rear sway bar though?
    One being on a different angle compared to the other is nothing to so with the endlinks themselves....
    The whole bar can be moved left to right through the bushings, so when you put it in, it was prob more to one side. You should be able to loosen the bracket holding the bushing and then slide the bar (to whatever side you need to) so that they are both on the same angle.

    Yes.. I've got a Whiteline 27mm too. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted.

    It doesn't matter how you arrange the bar, you can't have both links straight.

    Yeah I know you can't have both straight, but you can have both the same..

    Mine had no such problem. It's probably not quite centered properly. Those shitty little centering brackets are a bit of a turd to set up properly.
