Hi, I am new to this forum. I have some problems with the Racing Beat Rear Sway Bar, which I have just fisnished installing.



The bushings that came with the rear bar appear to be slightly too small, and there is a big gap in the bushing after I screwed on the oem bar bracket. Please see photos. Is this normal?

No, they didn't come with new brackets. Only two bushings, which when placed on the bar left a big gap in the bushings. I also installed the RB Front Sway Bar and the bushings fit perfectly, as shown below.

I called RB and they told me that I was given the Miata bushings. They (with the help of RX7 Store as I purchased the kit from them) did however expressed the right bushings to me. Excellent service by RB and RX7 Store.
