question: rear sway bar swap 200


I just pulled swaybars off a turbo, and now that I look at my car, on
the rear sway bar I see an extra brcket bolted to the trailing arm that
holds the swaybar. This wasn't on the turbo and I didn't bother pulling the bold used for mounting on the turbo. Can someone clarify what I should do?

thanks

    question: rear sway bar swap 200

    Rear sway bars have 2 attachment points on each side. The forward point is the lower shock bolt. The rear point is the bottom of a triangular bracket that is bolted to the trailing arm. If these brackets were missing from the turbo I have to think they were already removed by somone else because the bar won't work effectively without both attachment points. Since wagons usually don't have rear bars, someone looking to add a rear swaybar to a wagon would need a set of these brackets. The bolt in question has a square shoulder to prevent it from turning while the nut is tightened. Should be available at dealer.

      I guess the turbo I took these off of had slightly different trailing arms, the bar was bolted directly to the suspension without the extra bracket. I just decided to go for it and the bar fits perfectly! :-) So that's the good news!
      Now for a test drive!
