Default how do i install sway bars?

back is plain and simpl. but my question is the front. how do you take of the stock torsion bar and put the new sway bar? is it hard. what needs to get chucked out of the way?

Not answering your question but from what I've read there is no need to change the front sway bar. However, you can improve handling, steering and feel by changing the stock endlink bushings to Energy Suspension bushings. Cheap easy mod with great results.

i don't know if the bushings will do anything. to ride low like i do. i had to modify the bushing pins so it drop the torsion bar down away from the frame. it used to hit cuz riding low pushed the bar close to the frame about 1 inch clearance. but so where can i get the bushings?



i don't think it will interfere, the bar should behind the spring. opposite of where the sping is going to get removed, but you will have to remove the shocks. (my opinion only)

yeah . trust i know. the bushings work just don;'t use a spacer. it actually pulled my front sway lower than it used to be which is good cause almost every bump it'd hit.

rear bar anything but whitelines all ya gotta do is get underneath the car

whitelines you gotta get under the car and remove the lower shock mount points.
