PCGUY112887 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 On a 96 Grand Prix sedan. The back looks like you just unbolt some kind of endlinks then the mounts and drop it, however the front isn't quite like that. I want to get a 34mm front bar but first I want to know how it comes out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 There's a bracket on either front control arm, then two more brackets on top of the subframe behind the motor. I've never tried to attack those with a motor in the car, but they don't look easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 too bad you can't just pull it out the side the LAST thing i want to do is lower the subframe just to get it out. i have the 34mm front bar sitting in my garage waiting to go in. not to hijack...but if the engine/trans were not in the engine bay would that make it possible for the front sway bar to come right out?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Unless the rack is in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Damnit.. I forgot it sat behind the rack. my old pics I have, it looks like with the tie rods out of the way it shouldn't be that bad to shimmy out... probably easier to pull it out the driver's side, because of where the steering linkage is. I dunno though.. might have to lower the subframe a tad to pull it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 i pulled my 34mm bar out the passenger side of the donor '91 DOHC International coupe....but the car was wrecked in front so maybe some stuff was of the way making it possible....i can't remember.

mihela816 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Just have to lower it about 2 inches. Don't even have to pull the rack pinch polt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I had to lower the rear of the subframe to get mine out. Well, maybe I didn't have to, but it didn't seem like it was going to come out without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per0781 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 when i replaced the front sway bar on my moms 99 regal i didnt have to lower the rear of the subframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminal67 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 i switched the sway bar in my lumina when the motor was out. It was still a tight fit and it required some finesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
