i was gonna say wheres ur fogs or deletes? lol
Lateral forces from the car, sure, but it affects the strut vertically Pushing from rear to front (or vice-versa) on a strut where the sway bar bracket is won't move the suspension at all (which is what the sway bar does). I'll take your word for it, but I've never seen a sway bar (that worked...) that had that much angle between the bar end and the strut / control arm mount because that's making it pretty ineffective. I can't find pics of mine, but I remember installing it, and I remember the end-link was fairly straight up / down. At an angle like that, you're killing the effectiveness of the bar. So... it doesn't look right, but ok.

ooooooooooo ok yea those links he is using def dont look like they were made to fit that sway, they do look shorter which would make him use that angle.
he should have gotten the adjustable AWR endlinks.

sway bar is correct unless mazda dealer ship put it on wrong from factory lol. all i did was replace the end links which i need to adjust
and to answer your question with a correct answer they are these

gotcha. such as accelerating, or braking. I see what you mean man.
thats the way mine looked stock..all weirded out at that angle. lol
now with the MSP rear bar and AWR end links, it looks like this: I dont have a before pic tho.
iirc, the miatas sway bar ends are pointing toward the front of the car.
Yeah, that's what it's supposed to look like. The endlink nearly perpendicular to the sway bar.
Yeah, but that wasn't my concern, only that the sway bar ends and the strut weren't anywhere near in alignment. The one in question has the end-link at like a 30* angle to the strut...
MSP bar is much shorter, hence the link is much more perpendicular to the ground and therefore better.. the pic that puerto rico posted is the same setup as stock, again unless mazda installed mine wrong too. and even the stock link is at quite an angle.
heres a pic of mine. the link is broken off here, but you get the idea of angle and placement.
and yes, rust sucks.

yea, its a weird angle for sure. note sure why the p5 has that design and the msp bar is pulled in so much more.
damn. rust. sucks.
on a side note, when I was using the stock bar, I drilled a new sway bar attachment hole making a pseudo adjustable sway bar. worked great till I bought the msp bar.
