AE85/6 double rear swaybar - how to with pics

Postby eightytrueno » Thu Oct 07, 2004 6:24 pm

for those ae85/6 people might be interested in this

just added an extra rear sway bar to the ae85, usin same method as some of the drift guys in us do etc. saw it on another site

its easy, even i could do it!

you will need:
ae85/6 rear swaybar
5-10 hose clamps (i used 6)

undo the hose clamps, and put the new rear sway bar up against your current one. i sort of dummy fitted it with the hose clamps loosely to get it sitting where i wanted
Image

then tighten away! i used an electric drill to tighten mine, as the hoseclamps i got were very greased, and were hard to tighten even when 'loose'
(here they are nice and tight)
Image
they recommend tightening them again every day for the first week or so while the metal gets into place, then again about every month
should notice your car sits flatter in the rear when turning
= very quick , easy and effective mod
hose clamps = $10
ae85 swaybar = already had, but prob about another $10

oh and BTW, when you jack the car up put blocks in front of the front wheels and use axle stands. safety first guys! :P
