Whiteline rear anti roll bar mounts do not fit
 
Hi all,

I purchased the whiteline rear anti roll mount mounts a while back to fit to my Impreza bugeye WRX that I'm fitting an entire sti setup into.

The problem I'm having is that the the whiteline mounts do not fit, I've tried fitting them as per the instructions (rib pointed forward, overhang in wheel arch) and also every other orientation but they simply do not fit due to a couple of problems.

1) The passenger side fouls on another part that is bolted to the chassis rail right behind where the anti roll bar mount bolts in. This means the anti roll bar mount cannot sit flat on the chassis rail, and without cutting down the other part, I see no way it could fit?

2) The drivers side mount rear hole is shared with a bracket for the charcoal canister, the anti roll bar mount will not fit under this bracket but it also cannot bolt ontop of it as the bracket has a lip which would prevent the mount for sitting flush ontop of it, plus even if it did then the mount wouldn't be flush against the chassis. I suspect that even if this bracket wasn't in the way, then it would foul on the same thing bolted to the chassis rail as on the passenger side.


​​​​​​I've contacted whiteline support but they have been entirely unhelpful just repeating that "R&D has said it will fit your car", but it doesn't, even after showing them pictures and videos of the problemproblem.

Any pictures I've seen of these mounts fitted to cars (which seem to be very few and far between) the cars seem to have had the charcoal canister deleted and there is no other part bolted to the chassis rail behind the anti roll bar mount.

Any advice or even pictures if you have fitted these mounts to your car would be massively appreciate!

Kind regards,
Matt

Drivers side rear hole bracket that shares the hole (yes it's all rusty :( ) the braxk seems to have a think piece that goes under the other part bolted to the chassis which prevents the anti roll bar mount from sliding underneath the bracket.

I'd want to sort that rust and dirt out first - is that bolt in far as it goes?

Are they 180 degrees out?

They are handed so be sure to check, I have seen people before have had to grind a small bit off for them to fit on some models.
