Sway bar question.

Post by unleashedcc » Fri Sep 14, 2012 11:16 pm

I'm about to purchase a REAR sway bar from a member from Canada but he says is off a regular 01 neon. I thought only ACR/RT/SRT brought rear sway bars.

Can someone please explain or clear the air :)

01' and 00' MY both had rear sway bars, I believe they are 15mm, not huge but they have them, in 02' they discontinued rear sway bars in neon's that weren't R/t or ACR, same with the PT cruiser. They saw it as a way to save money, they are cheap but Imagine not having to buy 500,000 of them.

Taken from the FAQ...

Q: What are the stock sway bar sizes?

A: Most non-ACR/RT's have 20mm front stabilizer bar. Some came with a 22mm bar (2005 SXT MTX, for example). All 2000 models had a rear stabilizer bar as standard equipment. In '01, Chrysler dropped the rear unit as standard equipment, making the rear sway part of an optional package on some models.

*All ACR/RT's have 22mm front and 19mm rear.

*All SRT-4's have 24mm front and 17mm rear.

*GT Crusiers have a 26mm front swaybar, which bolts on to all PL vehicles.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...
