Default Standard sway bars OEM

Do anyone know how much you can get a standard sway bar for the PT cruiser, what year and who may already have it installed.
Thanks

I think you're asking: How much to add a rear sway bar, and has anybody done it? Right?

Call them - I bought a Suspension Techniques 7/8" rear bar from them, not both.
You'll also need a mounting kit - get the Mopar mounting kit - Wyckoff of Tom Thrift at Haynes.
It's pretty easy to do - if you decide to do it, I have a "trick" for the hardest part....

Hey cool thanks, but not for that price for the suspension techniques. Was thinking progress, I can get the OEM bar for around 20 thought I might see how well it works first.

The stock and cheaper standard rear sway bar is kinda wimpy and does not do the complete job. Beter than nothing for sure though! But if yours did not come with a rear bar from the factory then you need to add the install kit which it kinda pricey! If you are willing to spend for the install kit buy a better rear sway bar that is sized to do the job!

King, I would take a look at your local pick-n-pull salvage yard, see if you can find an 01-02 that HASN'T been rearended, and pull the bar and needed hardware. Could probably get it really cheap.

I actually I got a close out deal from Summit Racing for 78 on a progress bar, needed the Mopar install kit for another 70 so my total was around 140 for the install, I guess that's not too bad, but I do love the Progress bar.

Thanks for the reply.
