rear sway bar

Post by smallblockfreak » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:14 pm

What cars are suppose to and aren't suppose to have rear sway bars? My 01 SE has an OEM sway bar but an 02 SE does not have an OEM sway bar and neither does a 04 SXT. I'm confused did dodge just randomly throw sway bars onto neons?

I think it was standard on all 00 and 01s after that it was just R/T's and ACR's

oh alright that would make more sense. I can't imagine not having the rear sway bar it already doesn't handle that great and to not have a rear say bar the car would handle horribly.

My sister's 01 Plymouth Neon doesn't have any rear sway bar.

Here is how it breaks down...

2000, All models got a rear bar standard, but tilt steering was optional.

2001 and up, All models got tilt steering standard, but the rear sway was a package option for SE & SXTs. All R/Ts and ACRs got it standard.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

No prob. I've answered this question a few times before, so the info was close at hand :D
