Rear Sway Mounts/Links

[onedivinehammer]

I've noticed Eibach sells a kit (with mounts/links) for their rear sway bar. Anyone have any ideas on where I could purchase such? For some reason, Wykoff isn't selling the mounting links for the rear WITHOUT purchasing the rear bar. A bit akward ....

Eibach supposedly has a kit that contains the parts needed, But I haven't seen it. Below is a list of the needed parts from chrysler along with the part#s. I think the total cost was $ 88.00. The links were $ 22.00 Each.

Below is the list of all of the parts needed for the install of the rear Sway bar on the GT Cruiser:

I went to my local dealership with those part #'s and they quoted me 120.00 and change for them. So I got them here http://www.ptcruiserlinks.com/pt/wy2.html for 76.00, received them in a few days. Price includes shipping.

When searching by part # (easiest method) don't add the 0 in the beginning.

Hmm. Chrysler list for these items is $76.60. Dealers get to charge whatever they want. Looks like your dealer was trying to make a big profit, and lost when you "walked".

Odered the Eibach sways.
Got the linkage parts from a local dealer.
Didn't have any of the parts in stock, so had to oder them.
Anyone know how to put together the linkage set and what the torque specs, etc. are?
If i put the car on ramps, can i mount the bar that way, or does the car need to be level?
Thanks.

PTGT Redman, When we installed mine we put it up in a lift. That was more for convenience than to keep the car level. I don't see any reason that they can't be done on ramps. The rear will be a PITA to get the nuts behind the flange on the twist axle and get the bolt started. I would recommend a 2nd person to help on the back to help hold the bar and get the nut behind the flange and get the bolt started. I taped the nut into an offset box end wrench to get it in behind and get the angle square enough to get the bolt started. On completion of the tightening had to encourage removal of the wrench with a hammer because as you tighten the bolt it draws the wrench into a position almost flat against the flange. Had to rap the wrench a couple of times to remove the wrench.
Here is a link to my post on the installation:

Macster, Nice Pics What kind of shocks do you have, and how well do they work with the Eibach springs?

Thanks

Koni's, is there anything else? The car handles completely different from the stock system. It doesn't float or handle like a boat. I love the way it tracks, basically it handles like a slot car. But to answer your question, they work very well with the springs, extremely well as a matter of fact.
