Alright, i'm changing the oil in my car, and i look over to the passengers side and what do i see, the sway bar is unattached on that side. The mount and bracket are completely gone. Is that uncommon? I have no idea how long its been like that, but i think i would have noticed that the last time i changed my oil three thousand miles ago.
How hard is it to install a new sway bar? Im thinkin about getting the one from spohn. Good choice?
Questions and comments appreciated.

If your swaybar has been taken off before, its easy. If not, them end links can be a PITA. The frame mounts are easy to come off.

Being and RS, you could get the stock 36/24 Z28/Iroc setup, it would be cheaper, and an upgrade itself.

 

yeah sounds like a good time to upgrade to bigger one and get some new energy suspension endlinks and some tds front greasable bushings.

might want to check to see if u have a wonderbar right under the sway bar, good time to get one also.

 

Unless the car came with a wonderbar from the factory, i dont have one.
Im not good with suspensions, what does a wonderbar do and where does it go?

an RS would not have come stock with a wonderbar. It mounts to the same points as the swaybar. It stiffens the front of the frame rails, and keeps them from twisting during use.

 

Mounts on the same bolt as the swaybar (doesn't replace it though), and is just a straight bar between the frame rails to stiffen things up a bit. I put one in a few days ago, and I could feel the differance a little.

 

Hey Ken
If you're interested I have a friends 36mm factory bar w/ poly end links. I can try to hook you up with him.

You can get a factory Wonder bar for $10 or less at Pick-your-part. It bolts up with the swaybar and ties the front frame rails together.

 

Thanks Jon, but I got a buddy who works at a bone yard here and he has a Z that was wrecked so i might just pick that car clean.
Hey are u going to the Dec. 6 meeting or the dinner on the 13th (its on the 13th right?)

I won't make the meeting but the dinner at Knotts does sound good. Just waiting to hear the latest plan.
