Rear Swaybar ???

I am replacing the rear swaybar with a BMR piece & have a question?

Does the part of the bar that bends out around the axle cover go up toward the car or down toward the ground?

did you also get the matching front bar? if you didnt and the new rear bar isnt the same strength as original your handling will get screwy- under or oversteer.

Yes I got both BMR front & rear & got it figured out (I think),


One thing that has me puzzled was the slit in the poly parts where the bars actually mount to the car. The manual shows the slit to go toward the front of the car & says the same for the rear poly parts. Is this correct?

Slit facing forward is correct.
