ok. guys help me out...im trying to install my dura-blue sway bar on my 400ex and having some trouble. Ive got the front part mounted o.k. (to the front upper a-arm bolts). The problem is when i try to attatch the heim joint ends to the lower back side shock mount, the bar hits the spring of the shock. Am i doing something wrong?. Im not sure if i explained this good enough but hopefully someone out there knows how to help...thanks guys

can u possibly get a longer bolt in there and put like a spacer on it? my cousin had the same problem on his YFZ and we just did that. it works great now. just maybe get a longer bolt and some spacers and see if that works. maybe take some pics too.

That happened on my 300, I went to a local hardware store and bought 4 boltswere about 2 inches longand a chit load of washers. I put enough washers between the shock mount and heim joint to were it would clear the a-arm and shock all the way threw travel.
