1853, Finally installed my new sways yesterday
Posted by DeanoD, Apr-19-01 07:53 AM
I would like to thank ya'll for your input and helping me make my selection. I only wanted to do it once and I researched it for more than 6 months. That tells you how anal I can be about my car...LOL BTW: I will be testing the suspension technique bars at a driving school on Saturday and then at the autoX event on Sunday. I have the front set on full stiff and will play with the other two adjustments and tire pressure as well to get my car neutral.

Tools needed: 14mm and 12mm sockets, 14mm open end wrench, ratchet with short extension and some fool to put that nasty silicone lube into the bushings.....I hate doing it..LOL
The only slight difficulty was the thickness of the front poly bushings and squeezing the factory clamp over it and bolting it in. The rack is located just above the upper bolt and it can be a bit hard to start the threads. I started the bottom bolt first and then had a friend pin the top part of the clamp in place with a flat pry bar. This way I had the bushing squished into the clamp and the hole was aligned properly. It threaded right in. I have changed many sways on numerous cars and it takes less than an hour on our cars. Another friend of mine just changed his rear bar on his GVR4 and that was a bee-itch.
