A question was asked to me by some other people who where looking at doing this here goes, PLS. RESPOND!

" Does putting in this kit change the angle of the sway-bar? And if so how much pre-load does it put on the other components? Or does it stay at netural?"

If any one can answer this pls. do so if I need to correct it I'll find out how to.. Thanks,Pull

 

It stays the same.

 

i gotta do this when i get a day off from work

 

Stays neutral as surfcitylocal said, even when dropped. Does improve front end feel.

 

Ok I'm going to purchase it all from energy..

Length Set Number
4 1/4" 9.8149

ENS-9-8149R $17.39
Sway Bar End Link, Polyurethane Bushings, Red, 4.250 in. Sleeve Length, Kit

This is what I'm purchasing.

 

NO!! Don't order those, the Sleeve (between the bushings) is 4.25" which is way too long for our use. Order the ENS-9-8105R set and then get 4" Grade 8 bolts.

 

Ya I almost messed that up - ordered the ENS-9-8122R

Hoping to get it installed Friday morning.

 

Did ya get the right bolts and nylock nuts? Glad you only got the bushings and washers kit.

 

I won't know until it gets here but the very original posted purchased the exact same set - ENS-9-8122R from Summit Racing. In all the pictures, 1" looks to be more then enough room so I'm crossing my fingers its right.

Bushing Material: Polyurethane
Bushing Color: Red
End Link Bushings Included: Yes
Frame Bushings Included: No
Frame Bushings Greasable: No
Sleeve Length (in): 1.000 in.
Washers Included: Yes
Bolts Included: Yes
Quantity: Sold as a kit.

Spoke to Mark (I believe at Energy Suspension) and he said they are working on a tC right now and plan on working on the xB next month. I jokingly said he already had quite a few xBs rolling around w/ the bushings and full kit. I'm interested to see what they come up with.

 

No, the kit I was talking about is just bushings and washers. Then you buy the 4 inch bolts and nylock nuts from Lowes or Home Depot. The one inch spacer does not get used and don't know if the supplied bolt will work. It may not have enough threaded area to tighten up the assembly with the spacer left out.

 

How wide is the OEM stock sway bar is?

I just spoke to Energy Suspension and he recommended 8117, 8119, or 8149 depending on the cars drop and etc. Looks like this could be a very specific

I will just get the darn bushings/washings and bolts/nut and call it good.

I don't understand why its so hard to just be told which kit comes with a bolt that is 4" in length OR how much "sleeve" area is needed?

So did you get a day off to find out??
all but you are saying it stays nuteral, so I'm just wondering what you came up with.

 

Maria, Just wait and get the bushing/washer sets and I'll get the bolts/nuts and then I'll put them in, no big.

 

Has anybody looked into other bushings?? Like Tie rod ends or stuff like that??

 

Ok so the dealership installed them today - 4" Grade 8 bolts and the locking nuts

They charged me to damn much and didn't give me a quote but I'll take that up with them!

 

Would something call damage bolt/nut remover bolt out works?

Dealer prices...boo hiss boo hiss.

 

I put them on a week ago. I also installed new springs and a rear sway, I don't know how much they helped but they couldn't of hurt.

 

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!


If you want to see how much it helped take your Box down the road about 40 to 50 mph and tap the wheel L-R go easy or do a quick lane change and you'll see. Hang tight!!!

 

I FINALLY installed mine last night, huge difference, not only handling better, but better ride too, maybe placebo effect but I like it and I might do the wife's xA too.
