    front swaybar install for a 98??

    Can anybody give me some tips on how to install an aftermarket front swaybar on a 98 corolla?? It looks pretty straight forward, but your advice would be appreciated.

    the EASIEST way to do it would be to put the car on a lift...actually swapping it out should be simple. if you have the Hotchkis sway, i know the mounting points for the bushings and whatnot are exactly the same as on the stock sway bar. just make sure you put grease in the bushings.

    install is really simple.

    Just lower the gas tank, enough to be able to take the bar out.

    well it was a bitch to install, but it is in!
    it does not make that much of a dramatic difference like I thought it would. It does flatten out the turns a little more, but thats about it. Can anybody tell me which holes is for the stiffest settings? I have it set to the holes closest to the center of the car.
    well lmk, thanks

    thanks for the replies guy's. I guess I already have it set to the stiffest settings. I noticed the major difference when I was driving on the freeways vs city driving.

    You have it set at the stiffest setting. The hole farthest away from the center of the car is the softest setting.

    erm

    ok...the holes are set up like this 0 0 0 ----------------- 0 0 0

    the outermost holes are the softest setting. the innermost holes are the stiffest. get your hands on a rear sway, and you'll definitely notice a difference.
