Hello!
I've been busy last several hours installing & test driving after I installed H-sport Comp. bar..

My Problem.

MY bar was groaning, squeaking when I hit a bump.. I was thnking what is causing this nasty noise.. and then boom..

I did not use the greaser that came with the bar!

Now, I know H-sport comp has zerk fitting..
Ok..
It's a little ****.

How do I use it?'
How do I grease it with a small pack of greaser that I've gotten..?

Grrr!! Who said Swaybar is an EASY DIY???

 

On my e36 M3 the aftermarket bars would squeek like mad, so I removed the brackets, wrapped the bar in teflon tape and added a fair amount of grease. It never made another sound!

 

The fitting is made for a grease gun. You should be able to buy one at any auto parts store for ten bucks. The end of the gun fits over the fitting and will seal if you hold it in place. When you squeeze the trigger the grease is forced in.

 

Does one use lithium, bearing grease or what??? I have some old Red Line High Temp grease.....Thanks, asking in advance to the squeeking start....

 

I've had my H-Sport bars installed for two years now, and that includes two wonderfully salty Michigan winters; the bushings and the bars are quiet. From my experience, they WILL be loud is your don't properly pack the bushing and/or not use enough of the included Energy Suspension lube. The zerk fitting is a nice gimmick, but doesn't work very well. It's more effective to remove the bushings and repack them. Make sure you didn't get any debris or other stuff on the bar before mounting the bushing either! It's not difficult, just do it correctly.

 

make sure you grease inside, out, and the bottom of the bushings.

Also, check to make sure your swaybar moves freely....on my car the
chassis seal was rubbing against my Alta and i had to trim it with a
knife.

Those comp bars are much thicker than mine, so you'll have higher
probability that it rubs.

 

why r they a gimmick? seem to do a good jod NO?

is it cuz not a lot of grease is able to enter it due to clearance?

 

thank you all for ur inputs...!

When I took off the bushing to grease it, I COULD NOT put that back on unless I take apart the whole system.

Is that normal?

And also, is there ANY way that I could have messed up my alignment when I took off the whole shocks, looseing the subframe, etc?

 

Generally, when you lower the subframe, it's considered a good practice to have the car re-aligned. There's not a lot of play on the rear subframe, but theoretically there's enough to make a difference. I've lowered mine several times and have never noticed any alignment problems.

 

I see
Because after I installed the sway,
my steering wheel is not where it is used to be when I'm going dead straight.
I kinda have to tilt it alittle to left.

I checked tirep pressures and all that, but everything seems fine.

I'm getting kinda worried what if I put too much pressure on the sub-frame and got it bent or something..

Anyone can tip me out?

 

I wouldn't worry about a bent sub-frame. Double check all hardware amd make sure everything is installed correctly for both front and rear subframes. If everything looks good but problem still persists, then have the car aligned.

 

Did you just raise one side of the car to do this? you want to raise both sides so that the swaybar doesn't work against you.

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
yes i lifted only left side of my car..!!
damn..!!!!


o yeah and do you have any idea on alignment, titled steering wheel?

 

well after greasing the bar,
it's quite now, handles like a star,
etc

now.. I will drive for a few days then decide on alignment..
