Installing the Progressive Rear Sway Bar with Pictures
Ok. As you all know there isn't a write up for this. Here is my first chance to do one. Ok well the instructions that came with it was : Lift car, Take tire off, remove old replace with new: //// Seriously wtf lol So here you go with the tools you need:
Make sure you have all your tools with you: I kept getting up and having to find the parts....
Time to complete: 30 minutes with clean up
Tools needed:
Lift
Air gun
Attachment to air gun to take off tires
Wheel lock key ( if applicable )
12mm and 14mm sockets
Ratchet
Grease Gun ( I didnt trust that little thing of grease it came with )
Directions.
First off lift your car: Enough for you to get under. About 2 feet was good enough for movement for me.
O this thing is great omfg lol ok official performance feedback:
The Progressive Sway bar went on perfectly.
As for driving. I took it around corners and felt solid all the way thru. My rear end feels like it wants to swing out a little more than what it did. This is perfect because I felt like i was dragging @ss the entire time. I feel neutral all in all. Thank you very much for this product.
spinning cars around is fun huh? When you mean too. Spun a 180 on a two lane in a focus at 95mph. Managed to bring it back straight. Dont know how though. Rep on the 540 and the DIY.
Couple of things I do when doing front or rear bar swaps.
1-I use ramps. It gets me enough clearance and keeps loads off the bar ends compared to letting the axles hang off the bar.
2-I use a couple of thick washers where the bolts go through the chassis mounts. This helps prevent them bending under hard cornering loads.
3-I use either grease or Teflon thread tape (wrap the bar with at least a single layer where the mount sits) where the bar goes through the chassis mounts. It allows the bar to rotate a little freer.
4-Never-Seize on all hardware when reassembling. I use the silver type.
Just curious, but would this take the alignment out a little? Would it have to go back in for a touchup on the alignment?
This would be a great addition, just dont want to spend more than I have to, like a whole alignment, just because I added in something so simple, you know?
Awesome diy, does anyone know if you can take the eibach front and rear sway bars from a 97 tiburon and put them on say a 06 tiburon. I know you can take a rear 03 gt tiburon sway bar and use it on a 97.
