turbo sway bar 700

posted by  someone claiming to be paul wittenbraker on  Wed Nov 27 10:06 CST 2002 [RELATED]

i was at a u-wrench-it today and picked up a sway bar off of a 760 turbo. I think i saw somewhere on this site that the tubo sway bars are stiffer that what came with my 87 740 gle wagon. Was it worth my $15 bucks?

    The stock turbo bars are a little stiffer than the regular bars but tame compared to the 1 inch IPD bars. What's the diameter and I'll tell you if you spent $15 wisely.

    Well, if you are installing the bar yourself I guess it is worth it. It further reduces the body roll in the corners compared to the bar you have on your car. The front bar for GL & GLE is 19mm and 21mm for the Turbo. If you can pull the rear bar out of the Turbo install it onto your car as well (it is a 19mm bar vs. a 16mm one on your car).

    I have done this to my car and it helps. This is the best solution for students on a budget but I know that the IPD bars are better if you can afford them.

    Oh, make sure to take the bushings off the old car as your Swaybar bushings will not fit (endlink bushings are interchangable). Better yet, buy poly bushings and do everything all at once.
