Default Rear seay bar link ibstall issue

Bent a stock sway bar so I order some adjustables, they say to mount outboard of bracket and axle but if I do that they hit the tire. Inside I'm afraid they will hit the brake line even though it's kinda out of the way. Does it matter if they are mounted on the inside?

^ this one isn't tightened but is pushed all the way on. If the when the track bar moves up with flex it will obviously rub the tire extensively.

wow my spelling from the phone was horrible.(sorry) Anyways after further searching on my computer it seems to be ok to run them on the inside. After looking at it again I dont think it will flex high enough to hit the brake line, and if it does it should just glance off of it.

It shouldn't really matter either way in regards to being mounted inside or outside. It really comes down to whether or not it's going to come in contact with your tire, your brake line at the top (during suspension compression), or your lower shock mount under suspension travel. Unlike mine--your lower shock mount is such that you don't risk compressing the can so I wouldn't worry about that. So in the second photo, the only thing to keep an eye on would be the hard brake line directly above your sway bar. If it looks like you are going to hit that, then you might want to take a look at spacing your tires out further with wheel spacers and going with the outside mount in the first picture.

Thanks. I'm not sure if it will get high enough to hit the brake line.ill probably just get some spacers and flip them outside just to be safe
