I just bought a new set of tires for my XP550, and when I put the rear wheel on, it touches the sway bar. Has anyone else had a problem like this? And of coarse, if you did, how did you fix it?

Wheel spacers or modify the sway bar.

 

Modify the sway bar, you mean bend it a little, or extend up the vertical connectors.

Thanks Dave

 

To modify the sway bar you need to bend it if you do a search on High Lifter there are posts on how to do it Never done it myself but it is not suppose to effect handeling.

 

Pasqualie47.....are you using the stock wheels?

 

Here is the sway-bar mode link...

I tried bending the sway bar and still it experiences the same problem. Anyway, let me look on google about fixing High Lifter. thanks for this

Pardon the newbie question but would it be an absolute no-no to just remove the sway bar? I know I threw my jeep's rear sway bar away years ago. I also realize a Jeep and ATV are not the same animals so just curious if the sway bar on an ATV is necessary or just there to keep Polaris out of court?

The post on highlifter is basically the same as the above link that biz posted..I made threads here and on highlifter..if you bent it and it is still touching you did not bend it enough..it doesn't bend easily..you have to tighten the strap pretty dang tight..as it will relax some when you remove the strap..

Dublin..you could remove the sway bar but you would quickly find that the body roll is increased dramatically and likely end up putting it back on.

 

Thank you so much for the info. I bent it tonight, and it is all fixed. I have plenty of room now.
