baccaruda Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 You might be right, Matt. There isn't room "inside" the GL crossmember to move it forward without lowering it, though. Brian, if I take the sway bar out, I'd have to put it someplace else. I don't think you'd like what I have in mind for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I have an extra pair of XT6 control arms that I could maybe hand over to you at WCSS? or Evan's Creek. Noah has some XT6 arms that are already 1" longer... see if he'll give them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 looking at where the bar is hitting the control arm in my loyale, I wonder if the sway bar mounts are further forward, relative the control arms, on an XT6.... just thought I'd bump this up. was changing the fluids in the new '6 today. and had a standard EA82 jacking plate on the ground nearby. held it up, and sure enough. the XT6 crossmember is probably about an inch wider than the EA82 one. So the sway bar is definitely further forward compared to the control arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks Chux! You mean wider front to back? Any way you can tell me if the control arms are further forward or further apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks Chux! You mean wider front to back? Any way you can tell me if the control arms are further forward or further apart? Im sure he meant the crossmember is wider as in the width of the car, so the XT6 arms are farther apart on an XT6 than they are on your GL-10. SOOO, why dont you try an RX front swaybar? If you dont have one, I do, and I dont need it..... It would be the easiest way to solve the problem. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume, since leading rods are interchangeable between '6s and EA82s, and ditto with driveshafts. that the control arms are in the same place relative the rest of the car. but the sway bar is just a bit further forward. so when you put a '6 sway bar on an EA82, the sway bar link ends up angled back a bit, and then the bend in the bar touches the control arm. the setup on my wagon rubbed there, actually rubbing a noticeable notch in both control arm and sway bar.

baccaruda Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Right, that's what I'd always thought. I'll see about putting an RX bar on it, I guess. I should have one somewhere. Thanks!
