sway bar help?

[chief44]

I have a 95gt, I live in a windy hilly area in western PA. I am a vol. firefighter and was responding to a fire call. To make a long story short, I snapped my rear sway bar, car bottomed out in a turn and of course the handling went away. Does any one know where to pick up a new one cheap?

 

[YEAHLOH95]

that is a common problem here in pa .or anywhere have you tried any salvage yards ?

 

[chief44]

thought about slavage yards, but don't want to replace a broken rusty part with a rusty part.

My dept won't let us run lights, too bad cause I have a really nice dash mount strobe setup

 

[MysteryMachine]

well that sucks. Is anybody allowed to run lights?

Have you considered a nice aftermarket bar? From what I gather from chatting with folks who have them, they are not all that expensive (vs spending money on used stuff).

Good luck.

Sway bars snapping ois a comon problem for us. I replace mine with some Eibachs and haven't had any problems sinc.e Just spend the money on some good ones and you won;t have to worry about it anymore.

I agree with the other guys just buy a new aftermarket piece.

How different does it feel after replacing the stockers with aftermarket bars?

 

[94opalgt]

its like night and day.the car handles the corners much,much better than with the stockers.i get almost zero body roll and corners that i used to have to slow way down for i dont anymore.i think it is something that you have to get used to cuz it feels so much different in the corners.i have more fun drivin this thing now than i did before.

oh yeah i should add that my car has been lowered abit,about an inch,so that would make a difference if your car is not lowered alittle bit.if its still at stock height it would make a difference but i dont know how much,i just know on my car the difference in handling is really noticable
