Diy Sway Bars Anywhere??????

NPDAN · 11-04-2007, 09:24 AM

I cant find a DIY anywhere on the internet nor on e90post on installing sways. If anyone has a link or has detailed info on installing these things, I'd really appreciate it. For some reason I want to install these myself. (Dont ask me why)

Thanks

front sway bar is really easy man. but it's best to lift the entire car, not just from corners to see what you're doing.

the back is major PITA and you most likely have to drop the subframe man.

one thing i have to say to you, make sure everything is tight, and for the front sway bar make sure it goes OVER steering arms, and not under. i suggest you take pix of the stock setup and do the same.

im not good at writing DIY, but feel free to ask me questions. i know about this coz i had a messed up installation.

definitely take it to a shop, just to get the advantage of seeing what's going on when the car is on a lift, but not a whole lot of shops have done it man.

when it comes to sways on this car, after my experience with it, i dont think i'd give it to the shop just like that. i'd still be standing there questioning everything they do

The rear sway cannot be done without a lift and some type of support to lower the ENTIRE rear subframe.

I just got done having one down on a 335X this last week. Its not a DIY project.

if you lived around NY, i'd be willing to do it, however i would need the car for a good long day
