Update on SAS bar install Posted by dbreid [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Where to get bigger/new front sway bar?, dbreid ![]() |
All,
Just figured I'd update this post, as I finally got around to installing the front one yesterday. The car is out being aligned now, but even on the ride over, it seemed much flatter. I haven't done the rear one yet (but it has the Aero rear bar on it already), because I haven't had time.
As far as the install, the trick was the following:
1.) You basically HAVE to disconnect the Tie rods.
2.) That lets you rotate the brake assemblies in better spots as you feed the bar in.
3.) You need to pull the two bolts that hold the steering rack in, and slide it forward (the rack). This was really easy, actually. I just held the tops (nuts) with a wrench, and hit the bottoms (bolts) with an impact gun, and they flew right off. Easy.
I also recommend keeping everying loose (but firmly threaded) until you get them all on. This prevents one side from being mega hard, while the other was easy. I also used a jack under the ball joint to compress the strut on each side while I installed the threaded part of the link on te A arm.
Overall, it is a very high quality piece, shipped with good instructions and well packaged.
