lol. I don't think our Florida cars have anything to worry about.

Actually, I have 2 STB in my living room. If I order that kits. I will have 3rd STB lol

Yeah, it was crazy. When I removed the tire out and saw that broken part. I just like how heck that metal is soo thick break easy? My summer car used be in winter for 4 years but never got any rusty sway bar. It was weird. I guess I wash them pretty good after driving in the snow in past. Of course, I use car wash WITH underbody wash. I guess it does pretty good job to clean it off before salt ate it up. Yeah, I like to live South but in bottom of Ohio is not that bad. I only get 1 bad snow storm last year so once is better.

I also have a stock sway bar around somewhere.

Don't you love Ohio winter/roads?

I already ordered GMPP handling kit this morning. Thank for offer. I know you live in Cleveland.

I don't mind snow (born/live in Indiana for 1983-1990 and currently live in the Ohio since 1995) but really hate salt ate the metal up for cause rusty. I lived in Arizona for 1990 to 1995. Tucson, Arizona was best city ever to live. I know I never seen any rusty cars in south. Ahh love to wear short in xmas. Good time. Maybe someday I will move back.

Dang palsut thats pretty crazy to see that rusted in 2 pieces


If you dont want to use the STB ill buy it from you,just pm me the price

Yeah, it was crazy. I'm driving the winter car right now. The bang is getting annoyed lol My summer car is on shop for fix cv joint leaking. It was under on warranty. It is sitting inside at dealership now.

I will see about that. It is still middle of shipping. I will let you know if I want to sell it.

Let me know how the install goes. I need to order one soon.

My problem is the area where the jacks go is rusted out due to me using SUV jack stands instead of regular jack stands. Punched a hole up there and it just go worse. Plus the jack I used compressed the vertical part of the frame .

Also, let us know how the right quality is like.

I'm just getting the sway bar since I already got a STB.

EDIT:
ZUUL, your sig is sick. You even got the dual exhaust effect.

GMPP Handling kit was backordered until July

I'm going to try order each items tomorrow instead package (like stb, trailing arms, front & rear sway bars)

GM told me they are all out of trailing arms until July. I'm going order GMPP front & rear sway bars only. I will keep looking trailing arms on other site or wait for until July if I have no luck.

Any word on this... if they have them in stock yet? I need to get a kit, my sway bar is shot.

First, they say trailing arm is out of stock. Now front/rear sway bar are out of stock. I just wait for July.

Sucks... I'm making all kinds of noise. It's just my bushings, but I figure it's as good a time as any to replace all these parts. I've tried to send some emails over to find out if they have it in stock, but they take so long getting back to me.

Since GMPP is still backordered so I got a new stock sway bar. The winter car is getting worse more bang sound during turn.

It was raining yesterday so the water is "buried" inside broken sway bar lol... Right side


Left side


What a messy job.. need garage


Gone! Boy it was b***h to remove them out. The rubber things that hold sway bar in middle of engine are easy to remove. Endlink thing is very very tough to get it out. I have to use metal saw to cut it off because they are very deep rusty. They are finally out.


New vs. Old sway bars

Install new sway bar



From what I learn... tie rod keep hit the broken sway bar when I start the car and start turning to see that bang problem.


I want to thank to creepy cat from top window to watch me all day during working on that car for 5 hours... It might be enjoying to see angry guy and lot of rattle tool sound lol



I took it a test drive. NO BANG ANYMORE! Thank god. The turning is pretty good. It is kind like summer car again.

TIP... Do not let metal parts or tools outside in HOT sunny. You get a hot hand lol... Man, I wish I could move summer car (engine gone) to park it because it was cover under the tree to block the sun all day.

Install/Remove is my new way. I did NOT remove the tie rod.

** is out.
**** is my new way

Properley support the vehicle on both sides using the jack points shown above.
Remove both front wheels.
Remove the end link and mid point bushings from the existing bar.


**
Remove the tie-rod end from one side of the vehicle (passenger side is fine).
Turn the stock bar up and out of the tie-rod and pull the bar out.
**


****
Start the car and turn the steering wheel all way to let more space to get sway bar out instead remove the tie rod
****


Install the new sway bar in reverse.
Make sure the "V" part of the bar is pointing up. It should be at the center of the bar if properly installed and ends up looking like an upside-down "V".
Install the end link and midpoint bushings on the bar - if your midpoint bushings are fitted with zerk fittings, line the bushing with grease first and use a grease gun after installation to properly grease the bar. If not, thoroughly lube the bushing before installing it. End link bushings do not need to be lubricated.
Tighten one side first as follows:


**
Torque the tie-rod end to 22 lb-ft (plus 120 degrees of turn - check your shop manual to be sure)
**


Torque the midpoint bushing to 35 lb-ft
Torque the end link bushing to 17 lb-ft
Support the other side's wheel and properly torque as noted above. A good way to do this is to put a jack under the control arm as shown in the page 2 of the proper jack points shown above.
If you have zerk fittings, lubricate the midpoint bushings now.
Reinstall the wheels and torque to 100 lb-ft.
Test drive the vehicle and listen for squeaks and rattles. If you hear any, make sure that the bushings are greased properly. Only the midpoint bushings need lubrication.

so what did the new swaybar cost ya?I wish you had asked about one on here,i still have my stock bars layin around.

glad you got it fixed tho

IT looks smaller....Ya it messy.
The undercarriage looks rough, sorry bout that winter weather.
