I replaced my oem with weltmeister, but the front one walks side to side, causing bushing wear & clearance issues. Tried different fixes over the years, but eventually went back to oem M030. At least put some collars around the bar to reduce side to side walking. Weltmeister can provide another set of instructions if you ask them, assuming you're buying used.

rushfan944, here's an EXCELLENCE article on installation when the bars first came out. I noticed some design changes to the bar I recently installed.

hotshu, did your weltmeister bar make a clunk/pop when it walked side to side? I've been chasing a popping sound on turn-in to right hand turns from braking. It's right at the transition moment when the bar would first get force. I've put a wrench on everything but the noise is unchanged.

You can hear the noise clearly in this vid.

No it didnt clunk or make noises. Certainly didnt hear what I heard in your video.

Check the bushing for the control arms at the crossmember. As I stiffened up my suspension I found that that bushing began to disentigrate. If you can go to a solid mount there it is best. I used to use the plastic bushings commonly available and they failed quite frequently and would pop as they failed.
