What happens here

Examine the car's front suspension to determine if a larger sway bar can be installed. This involves checking for clearance between the existing sway bar and other components, particularly the suspension bushings. A custom-made bushing, potentially designed for increased rigidity or specific geometry, is demonstrated as a potential upgrade. The old sway bar is removed, and the fitment of a new, larger one is assessed, taking care to ensure it clears all moving parts.

Goal: Determine if a larger sway bar can be fitted and install it for improved handling.

Tools and materials

  • Custom Bushing — To accommodate the new sway bar and improve suspension articulation
  • Prying Tool — To assist in removing and installing suspension components
  • Sway Bar — To be installed for increased roll stiffness
  • Wrenches Mac Tools — For loosening and tightening fasteners on the suspension
