What swaybar are you using? Are you saying your o2sensor(in the cat.converter) is somehow reaching over and hitting the swaybar?

Hmmm...in my '99 sedan, my o2 sensor and stock front sway bar are long far away from one another. I don't see how your o2 is reaching over to your swaybar.

Any pics of this...

What are you talking about... The swaybar is bolted down with brackets to the frame of the car. You know when you lower your car..everything goes down right...The exhaust doesn't miraculously stay at one height and the cars body gets closer to it.

I don't see how your o2 sensor is hitting the swaybar, unless you have fawked with your exhaust and installed the cat.converter wayyyy in front. Your o2 sensor might be hitting the cars frame if you are hitting your converter and causing it to move up...but even then the o2 is installed sideways or at a slight angle usually.

Pic of what your underside SHOULD look like...

As you can see the front sway bar is placed right before the converter even begins, and the swaybar is bolted down.

The anti sway bar is bolted 2 the lower control arm. It IS also bolted 2 the cars sub frame W bushings that allow it 2 pivot. Now what part of all that don't u get?

1. That's a v6 2. It's stock 3. It's in the fu€kin air

U see that big bend in the middle of it? That pivots! did u know that n the higher the suspension travels up the lower that big bend goes down witch causes my o2 sensor 2 hit it!

I can see that u have no idea what I'm talkin about seeing that u don't nearly have as low of a car as I do
