Thread: front sway bar

Usually you want them to match by who ever makes them to keep the car balanced. But the GMPP one is not that BIG of a bar over stock so doubtful you will notice a big difference over a stock replacement unless you know how to drive your car through corners with handling in your mind.

Gee...wonder why the fronts are back ordered for the W-Body's. Could it be the hundreds of cars that have cracked or split ends that are still out on the road today? Naaaa...GM makes great parts, this would never happen. LOL

^Oh ya, no problem.

You may have to remove one front wheel to get it out. Pick your side some say remove it out the right, some say the left. Mine have always came out the nicest through the left wheel well on my car.

Basic hand tools can get the job done no problem. Tops, one hour with running into snags, like working in the tight spaces if your a big guy. I put mine on jack stands too when I remove or replace them, other don't.

I heard removing the rotor makes it a lot easier. Just gotta get the caliper and bracket off for that.

^?

WTH would you want to, or need to remove brake parts to get a sway bay out. Mine come close to that when I snake them out, but the bar never contacts the brake parts as to where they need to be removed. Some people like to do things the hard way, and most the time, the only way they know how.

Like I said, it's what I heard. If I were to do it today, I would try it with that in mind. If I found it in the way, I'd take it off.
