(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I pulled the wheels off my 914 that I bought in November. It has been on jack stands since I bought it. I have spent so much time in the engine bay and interior of the car I never got around to pulling the wheels. So I found a factory sway bar in the front this morning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) how cool is that. I just saved myself time and money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

press new bushings in the drop links? the top ones that secure the bar to the car are easy.

heat them up, a little grease on the link and the bushings. edevour to persevere. not that big of a deal to put them in. just make sure you don't put them in with the hole facing the same direction on the droplink.

having just the front on mine makes it much more controllable should I get sideways. The rear one makes the ass swap around a little fast. Although my car is far from well set up....

I agree, the ass end does come around quicker, when it lets go. But it sure stays

flat and true until then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've got both front and rear swaybars and I never notice the rear coming around. Of course it's either on jack stands or in the body shop so it generally doesn't move at all.

I heard that! I have had mine off stands for over two months now! Sadly, it's going back on this weekend.

Putting a whole new brake system on there. all 4 wheels off the ground, never done that before...

What year is the car? Strange that you would have a factory setup in the front and not one in the rear. Check to see if your lower bolts on the shocks have balls on the end. Also look up and see if the mounting backets are there. Somebody may have removed it at some point.

From what iv read in my last search, Im not sure if it is put from factory or previous owner. I guess there is no real way to tell (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) It looks factory to me. My car is a 73 2.0
