    the car has front and rear sway bars. normally they break on the creased end close to the end link. the other parts you 'might' be talking about are lateral arms.

    sounds like your cat is clogged for your first issue.

    well the sensors are in the bearings, and you have to replace the entire hub to replace the sensor so check to make sure the wires hooked up then possibly get it scanned by someone with an ABS scanner.

    ok, I replaced the sway bar and while I was under the car, i noticed the Stock down pipe and cat are welded. So now to cure the power surgeing problem on cold start up , Bio suggested i change out the cat. Can some give me a direction and inventory of what i will need to replace the dp and cat. I'm looking at the dp and cat welded from summitt 2.25 I/O

    Thanks for your help

    You mean the downpipe is welded to the rear manifold/collector or just before the resonator?

    if you can get away without a cat in your area, just take it off all together, they just get clogged up and rob fule/milage

    Ok, I checked out ZZP and It looks like I need the 3" shorty or 3" w/cat? and the front and rear gaskets. Do i need a custom flange for $20. How about tools for a DIY.

    Thanks, have a good one, I appreciate it.
