    Default swaybar changes

    Hey all,
    Thinking about changing my front swaybar nowish. How long does it take to do and would I need a wheel alignment?
    Thanks

    dude.....what car?

    Shouldnt need wheel align, but depends on what you undo to get the sway bar out.

    It could take 10 mins to get a sway bar out (VS commy) OR
    It could take a few hours (GSR lancer).

    All depends on the car!

    Sorry guys I have an ae86.

    Thats assuming there are no stubborn bolts, and he has all the right tools (GOOD socket set, hammer, ring spanner set to use with hammer, WD40)

    Can't imagine it'd be hard with all that anyway, especially since you're going back to stock.

    dont forget to let the car sit flat under its weight before fully tightening the bolts up, this way youll avoid binding the bushes and excessive wear.
