wagon sway bar swap 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be tjts1 on  Thu Apr 7 11:37 CST 2005 [RELATED]

There are only 2 types of sway bars out there on live axle 700/900. 16mm and 19mm. No 700 wagons had rear sway bar so you have to pull one from a sedan. A few 940s and 960s had a 16mm bar. Also grab the 2 little brackets where the sway bar attaches. Bring a measuring tool to make sure you are getting the 19mm. Some bars are really crusy with dirt and oil so you have to scrape all that off to get a good reading. I used a small ruler and a monkey wrench to measure. The model of sedan won't tell you what kind of bar it has on the back. It changed from year to year. I found 740 turbos with 16mm bar and 760 diesel with 19 mm so go figure. 3mm doesn't sound like much but the 19mm bar is twice as stiff as the 16mm bar. Im upgrading my 960 wagon from 16 to 19 and ditching the nivomats.
