Just rotated swaybar motor for EVO 1/4 pounder, question?

Caught the Bug
So I just rotated the swaybar motor for the evo front bumper. I noticed when drilling the motor 1/2 inch it makes the rubber hanger angle quite a bit. Has anyone had any issue with this hanger coming off and the motor hitting and damaging the radiator? Just looks like it could happen. Idk...

It's dark and tried to get the best picture, but that's how mine is.

something doesn't look right - did you use a longer shoulder bolt and I see a shorter bolt sticking out at the bottom, that doesn't look right.

if it's not raining I'll take a look at mine tomorrow - maybe it's the year difference, mine is a 2010
 
Looks good to me. He just moved the old bolt, that held the motor body together, down to the old mounting point. Not necessary and serves no purpose there, but as long as he used a dab of blue lock tight he'll know exactly where it is from now on lol.

Yes fog lamp plug, i moved it to cut the crossmember.
So i guess nobody has had any problems with the sway bar motor ever hitting the radiator. It just seems really close if it ever moved a little.

Make sure it clears the transmission line. I used the evo vacuum bracket and it lowers the sway bar.

That's true. my EVO relocation kit arrives on Tuesday. Good point, it will lower the swaybar a little which should give the swaybar motor more clearance. :thumbup:

Coloradan used that kit and his drag link was hitting his disconnect motor but I hadn't heard anyone else say theirs had. He made a thread but I don't know how to show the link like most people do. I believe he just flipped it up the other way
 
No problems here. I used the evo vacuum pump kit. I thought this was a relatively easy install. I used strizzychis's write up. Helped a lot.
