Installing a rear swaybar

Recommended Posts

Hey, right now i do not have any rear sway bar on my 1993 Cutty. I would like to add one, probobly the biggest stock one made, not the addco one. Does anyone have any detailed pics of theirs or have directions on how i could add one.

I just put a rear sway bar on the back of my Lumina and it wasn't too hard but here is something to look out for. Since my Lumina didn't come with a swaybar, there were no nuts in the holes for the brackets. I ended up welding the brackets on.

Also, to get the bar on, you'll have to drop down a strut. When I did this, I sheared off a bolt head and spent the next three hours drilling the bolt out. So, be careful with the strut bolts, use lots of your favorite penetrating oil and use a 3/8" drive ratchet, a 1/2" was what I used and sheared the head right off.

 

Side note, the largest factory rear swaybar, if I recall correctly, is 12mm.
