krenzy Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hey all. A couple weeks ago, I pulled out of my drivewayand heard a hard thud, then heard or felt nothing abnormal until later that night when I heard this metal-bouncing sound. Then part of my rear sway bar snapped off and hit the road. So what are my best options? It's a 98 Monte LS; I work at a parts store and we cannot order a rear sway bar, and GM can't get me one.

Nas Escobar Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 That's gonna be a junkyard replacement part. Only problem is that it's a guessing game as to how long it will last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l67ss Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Actually dorman sells z34 style bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krenzy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is the Z34 a direct bolt on fit for an LS? Do you happen to have a part number off hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Sway bars snap for a reason. Have you looked into why your first one failed? IIRC a Z34 bar should fit. I`d also get all new bushings and a new pair of the inward mounting arms and brackets. Go with greasable poly bushings from Energy Suspension.

l67ss Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yup z34 bar in a bolt on, I even reused the ls bushings. Unsure of pn #. Likely broke due to rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
