How To: Eibach Sway Bars

[Mike]

Its about a 45 minute job.
10 to jack up front cross member and place jackstands under car
20 to do front swaybar
11.5 to do the rear (my time today!)
Front:
Unbolt the sway bar end links (2 ea, 15mm bolts)

Unbolt the bar from the frame (4 ea. 10mm bolts)

Lube the new bushings with supplied grease and reinstall in reverse.

Rear:
Unbolt these endlinks (2 ea, 19mm bolts)
Unbolt the bar from the frame (4 ea. 10mm bolts)

Lube the new bushings with supplied grease and reinstall in reverse.

I have only done a short drive in the rain, with my dash apart for the aborted lockpic install, but it definitely has a lot less body roll now.

oh yeah, once its on the ground, torque to spec. Even lowered, I could still reach everything on the ground

Mike, how much did the Eibach sway bars set you back? I talked to a shop today and they said $550, but I swear I saw $169 somewhere on this forum. Please help clear my confusion. THX

I have a wholesale account, so I paid less, but the retail price at tire rack is 349.

Hey Mike-

How much difference did you notice in the handling ?

Ive been wanting to ad swaybars for a while to my 07 yukon.

Thanks

big difference. Its also lowered with pedders but there is a lot less lean in the corners now. Its not a sports car of course, but its greatly improved.
