Probably a stupid question, but do all of the front sway bar products require welding to the chassis? My car did not come with sway bars.
Thanks |

Thanks Elephant does not require welding but does require drilling holes in your front fenders. That said I have said Efalant sway bar and am being driven nuckin futs by the way it squeaks. Replaced the plastic bushing and still squeaks. Added lithium grease infused with Teflon, still squeaks. Am ready to ditch it since Chuck won’t answer my question about creating a rubber bushing as a replacement. Any suggestions on a replacement? Stock sway? Who sells these? |

If you are sure your sway bar is squeaking, check to make sure your gas tank isn't sitting on the sway bar causing the squeaking. You may need another pad under your tank to allow space for the swaybar if it was installed slightly too high or the rubber spacer blocks for the tank aren't thick enough or in the proper location any longer. I found one like this and the squeaking was rather annoying. |
