What a big difference a large swaybar makes 200 1993

On the weekend, I bought a pair of used anti-swaybars from the wreckers. The front is allegedly 27mm solid and the rear 23mm. The wrecker was kind enough to include the old poly bushings and brackets.

Having put in just the front bar, the difference its made to the cornering capability of the wagon is simply quite amazing.

Thing is, I wasn't too unhappy with the degree of roll in my wagon to begin with (the PO put in newish Bilstein TC shocks in the front which helps a lot). But the new flat cornering ability and overall stability in a straight line is simply sensational. Sure beats the improvement made to my 850 T-5 when it got oversized bars put in.

Can't wait to put in the rear bar in a few days time. I am even thinking of just leaving the rear alone for a while.
