IPD Sway Bars 850

Finally.

I hear you! Much the same as when I called IPD about sway bars and how to install them. To install them................ "just drop the rear of the subframe"................but don't forget to simultaneously push up the engine while you do it. :)

There's some good that came out of it though. I saw this contraption at a shop that looked like a giant heavy duty towel bar with legs running along the fenders just inside of the hood. It had what appeared to be a hand crank and hook along th bar. I asked the guy what the hell is that for and he said to hold up the engine when you drop the subframe. Duh! Such a simple and portable device that weighs about 20-25 lbs. Now motor mounts, subframe, etc, are no problem.
