Can I use the 4th gen 36mm sway bar on a third gen suspension?

 

I think the answer is no.
I did a search under interchange and the most comon answer was ,the front no, the rear yes.

I needed an answer fast so I posted because I didn't know if I would find the answer :rockon:

 

i am pretty sure its still no for the front and yes for the rear.

 

mdformula, has it spot on.

 

Did 4th gens ever get a better rear sway bar than 3rd gens?

 

Nothing from the front suspension on a fourth gen will interchange, except maybe the swaybar endlinks They use a completely different coilover setup and hubbed rotors. Fourth gen brakes can be made to fit, but its nowhere near a direct swap.

 

i think the biggest 4th gen sway bar is the 1LE 32mm one, i could be wrong but thats all i remember seeing

 

Because of how they have a coilover suspension and different things like that they didn't need as big of a sway bar.

 

The 32mm bar is the largest 4th gens came with but I suspect the fact that 32mm is the largest has nothing to do with the fact they have a different suspension setup and more to do with the extra power and speed the cars are capable of. For a street driven car on street tires with the avg everyday driver a smaller bar is better suited.

 

What size rear bar to 4thgens have? I need to find a 24mm rear bar for my '83, and prolly wont have much luck looking in 3rdgens for one.
