What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We remove the factory sway bar and install your upgraded bar with new bushings and end links, torqued to spec. A thicker bar keeps the body flatter through corners without harshing the everyday ride the way stiffer springs can.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Car leans heavily through corners and on ramps
  • You want flatter handling without a stiffer ride
  • Factory sway bar end links are clunking over bumps
  • You bought sway bars and want them installed with new links
  • Rear of the car feels loose or lazy in quick lane changes
