Installed sway bar this AM. Drove the wagon and it has made a big difference in the lean. Now when i go around a corner, instead of the opposite side lifting it stays level.
Now for the rear one.

i have boxed lower control arms and sway bar coming. Is there anything I should know before I get started that will save time, and wear and tear on a decrepid old body, not the car,me
:confused:

I know that you *MIGHT* need shims for the rear bar. You don't want to tighten the bolts to make up the gap between the arms & the bar you want to use shims.

Just do one side @ a time with the arms.

remove lower shock mounts and then the springs so you are not suprised by somthing becoming unsprung inadvertantly
