914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear sway bar

Posted by: jgiroux67 Mar 25 2005, 08:18 PM

How do you put the rear sway bar in? I have a factory bar that I need to put back in but I cant seem to get it from one side of the car to the other. Do I need to take off the muffler to put it in or wiggle it thourgh the gap between the muffler and the transmission?
Also, what direction is the bend in the sway supposed to be facing, up or down?

taking off the muffler doesn't take long and will help a lot with the mounting.
if your car is lowered, run the bar "upside-down" with the bend going UP. that will prevent the droplink from hitting the underside of the trunk under compression ...

i didnt remove the exhaust to weld in the mounts or put the bar in....

its easy... goes right in the area between the heat shield and the body....

Andy, that worked perfectly. Took like 2 min to get the muffler off.
Thanks Everyone
