Installing rear sway bar...

[insanekiwi]

Hey guys!

Just got Al's second hand sway bars from Australia!

Trying to get the rear sway bar installed,

just wondering if this can be done at home without the ramp / hoist?

What sort of tools required apart from socket wrench?

Thanks.

And how big is the front sway bar install? i.e. how much would it cost at the stealer? My camber is slightly off, so I am thinking of getting front sway bar install, and take it to alignment for cradle adjustment.

2006 Polo GTI Rear Sway Bar Upgarde.
The best cheaqp suspension mod for the polo is the rear sway bar.
Tightens feel turn in and is confenence inspiring.
Whietline make an after market kit with all the bits you need.
Part No: (BWR19Z) Rear
(BWF18Z) Front

Time to install is around 45mins.
Tools needed are:
Ring spanner set
Socket Set
Hex keys
Jack (pref not supplied jack as its not too safe)

The one thing to look out for is when undoing lower Shock mount bolt is that it will want to extend to its max length.
You may need to play around with a few diferent things to compress it back into place i just jacked the car untill they were at the same leavel.

This is one of the best things i have done to the car so farr bang for buck is well worth it.

The front is quiet a larg job the whoile front sub frame needs to be dropped to gain access prob a good 3 hour job.

Just a query about the rear bar, does anyone elses creak/squeak when going over an uneven surface like a driveway? because mine does! at least i think its the swaybar...any thoughts?

BTW, i find running it on the hardest setting when combined with the front strut brace and eibachs to be a very nice balanced setup.

Hey i get the creak/squeak in the front but not the rear. over speed bumps is when it happens most.
