Rear swaybar is in!!Woohooo.
I got the Addco rear from DR, arrived this afternoon by Mr. Brown. Total time for R&R , including cleanup of tools, exactly one Ozzy CD.
Out of the box, whooa! Is this thing gonna fit its massive.
Removal, much easier than previous cars I've worked on, like 'buttah' as they say in NY. Install was a snap, I read the posts here and had a.) air suspension off, b.) rear axle was sitting on jackstands. Apparently that saved me some hassles from what I read. You'll need a 13mm wrench, 13mm deep socket and ratchet, 10mm socket deep or shallow. Torque wrench was not really need, I tightened the bushings as instructed by the install sheet
Driving impression? I wasn't expecting too much, so what happened when I jerked the wheel over, kind of surprised me. The car did not turn left so much as it shot to the left. Wow. Very noticeable difference, any more than this and the car would be twitchy. I like it, I'll do the Metco Watts link next and the front swaybar after that as $$ allows.
This is offically her first mod, theres a K&N coming this week, and then, and then, and, and.... then I'm broke!
