Sway Bars
I have an 87 silverado 2wd. It has many options but I guess the origional owner decided to not have a sway bar (go figure). I'd really like to have one. It's at stock height for now, I do plan on lowering it 3/4 eventually, but for now, I would like some better handling.
I've been looking for months locally. Most parts trucks I've looked at are strip down custom deluxe models with no sway bars. I'm going to try the local junk yard this week. It's a pick and pull yard, I will have to grab it myself. Is it possibly to remove the sway bar in a dirt lot with basic hand tools? I know some of the sway bar is rivited on, sounds like fun Think a hammer and chisel should do the trick? Also, if anyone knows the bolt sizes, that would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to bring an entire socket set to the scrap yard. I'd like to avoid bringing more tools than I need since this yard is filled with inner city thugs roaming around and they like to "borrow" your tools. Also, this yard usually has a square body or 2, 3 if lucky. I know 2wd surburban sway bars will work, the yard usually has those. How bout the 80's chevy vans? Same sway bar? The lot is filled with those. Last edited by chevymotocross; 09-29-2008 at 09:10 PM. |
