I think I screwed up with my SwayLOC

[UND_Sioux]

Did I install the inner piece upside down? This picture is from the bottom. The arm with the slot is offset a little bit, and I assumed the biggest gap would be between the arms. When everything was tightened down, there was no gap at all between the arms.

I need to know whether or not, it’s on backwards, and then the easiest way to remove the outer arms. Thanks.

 

[UND_Sioux]

Disregard the removal. I got it off.

Which way should this orient? Thicker side toward the bushing or thicker side toward outer bar? Thanks.

Here is how mine is installed and it’s been working for me.

I believe it goes on opposite of the way you originally had it. The bars should be almost touching. I get off work in a couple hours. If someone hasn't answered your question definitively by then, I'll snag a pic of mine and post it.

Looks like Mike beat me to it! And his is installed opposite of how I remember mine installed, but I'm willing to admit I could be misremembering!

Thanks everyone. I think I got it worked out. Road test tomorrow.

That is backwards. The inner needs to flip over and while it may work for awhile, eventually the extra leverage will wear the notch and latch bits.

For future reference, you want the latch plate and the latch as close to each other as possible to keep the leverage on the latch minimized from a pivot action to more of a shear action.

I don't remember it being specifically described in the instructions but I figured having them as close together as possible makes sense.

I'll flip it while I have the trackbar out for attention.

Did a little test drive today. I need to make some adjustments. I have it set to the second hole from the front. It is definitely firm on the road setting, but with it unlocked, it rally didn't feel that loose.

Which hole is closest to stock feel? Moving it to the furthest back would help with clearance. Will that be a lot more loose than stock on the street setting? For now, I'm more concerned with that until I get the Mid-arm and lift installed.

I have mine on the farthest back setting. It feels about like stock to me "seat of the pants" judgement. When unlocked it doesn't "feel" loose, but it articulates really well on uneven terrain.

That's how I set it when I installed it, and I have no complaints.
