Replace struts to ad a rear sway bar....anything else needed

Post by greybox » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:33 pm

I have been searching all over this forum and maybe I am just not typing what I am trying to figure out in correctly.

Stock Neons have no rear swaybars and they dont have tabs to add one (as I understand) so my questions are;

1) if the SRT4 and R/T have the tabs made into their rear struts wouldn't it be possible to get a set of rear struts and the sway bar from a wrecked one/junk yard and just bolt the whole thing up?

2) or as long as I can find or order struts for one of those cars wouldn't it come with the tabs and I could find a stock rear sway bar somewhere and bolt it up?

yes either way will work, you could find a stock set of struts with the swaybar tab or you could order an aftermarket set. most aftermarket struts automatically come with a rear swaybar tab.
Now dont forget to order/find a set of rear swaybar brackets/bolts and rear endlinks to install the swaybar.

also swaybars came on more neons than just r/t's and srt's, even base models in 00 came with a swaybar. now its up to you what size swaybar you want though because they vary.

Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
