  • No front sway bar wtf???

    well i went to the store today and felt a clunk in my rear. so i checked it ou and noticed the bushings on my rear sway bar end links are dry rotted and half are missing. so i went to check the front and see if i need all 4 and guess what

    I DONT HAVE A FRONT SWAY BAR ON MY WS6 FORMULA WTF??

    so know i found a guy on ebay with ws6 sway bars blasted and painted with all new bushing for 70$ plus 20$ shipping. so im gonna get that

    the real bad news is im gonna have to try and hunt down the front mounting brackets.

    ill let everyone know how things turn out in a couple days i hope

    Common modification for the drag strip.. allows more suspension travel of the front end and weight transfer... Kinda sucks street driving it without one.. You didnt notice the body roll?

      I was driving with Jeff the other day and he mentioned he forgot he took off his front sway bar and he couldn't even tell it was gone

        You can't really tell much on a 4th Gen unless you're REALLY pushing it.

                I have mine off. I can notice a big difference between street driving. Taking corners and switching lanes, you have a ton of roll.

                    so do you guys think it worth the 80$ to get new coated, painted, and all new bushings with bars. or just drive it for 2 months and sell it like planned?

                    thanks

                        badinfluence had a z28 swaybar for 10 bucks. If you can get one cheap, do it. But dont drop 100 bucks on something that you will not get your money out of. My mounts were fubared and it drove terrible.

                          i found a sway bar off a 91 camaro 350tpi car for 20$ comes with all brackets and everything.

                          my question is will a camaro sway bar fit my formula there both 1991 cars

                          also he has the factory wonder bar for sale to for 40$ is it worth to get that or no? thanks.

                            They will fit. The camaro and 'bird are the same as far as chassis go.
