    Default front sway bar mounting

    hey guys quick question

    on my vq caprice i noticed today while fitting the inner wheel are gaurd that it had all new nolathane bushes aswell as a larger aftermarket swaybar.

    but i think it is fitted incorrectly, are the ment to bolt to the lower control arm or to the strut tower???

    i will post up a pic of what i mean if its not clear..


    cheers

    After market sway bars sometimes bolt to the control arm. I'm pretty sure the VQ mounted to the control arm anyway, only the later models mounted onto the strut.

    Factory they went on the strut, there is a small conversion (slightly shorter link pins) for it to attach to the lower arm, So you have found your 3rd unpaid for mod stoked
