Front sway bar on car pic.
Monday, April 11, 2005 3:41 PM
Well, i'm ordering my eibach sway bar kit tonight and i dont have a factory installed front sway bar. So what i need if its possible is a picture of a front sway bar, any front sway bar picture so i know where i need to drill the holes if i need to at all to put that thing up. and yes i know the eibach kit doesnt come with the d-bushing brackets and i have the brackets and bolts i bought from the dealer today.

Thanks!

If you do a search there is a spectacular article that walks you through a front sway bar installation step by step with pictures.

Ummm, please don't drill anything when installing the Eibach swaybars. The only thing you might want to do to the subframe is run a tap through the driver side hole meant for the bolt that holds the clamp in place. I didn't have a factory sway bar either, and getting that bolt in was a real PITA. Doable without a tap, but it will take a lot of elbow grease.

And you really only need to buy one bolt from the dealer, IIRC. There is one in the passenger side of the subframe holding a brake line down.

Its not how fast your car goes....its how much nerve the driver has to push it that fast.

Heh, I remember that post being a great help when I was doing my install. I had a 2.25" exhaust at the time, and it was impossible to lower the subframe enough to get the thick Eibach bar in. I also have a header, so all I had to do was disconnect the downpipe and it gave me more than enough room.
