stablizer bar?

Feb 22, 2004 5 Replies

I am attempting to install a stabilizer bar on my 66 bug. I've got those cool red bushing, and a bugpack bar, but I don't know how far to place them from the end of the bar...Thanks Bert vw66

Don't take this the wrong way, but that bar seemed(from the pic's) very thin?? I got some of those urethane mounts(s**te) + screw clamps, and they are a tad to large for my bar witch is 19mm if I remember correctly..

Did you shim the bar or trim the mounts?

installed a stronger Stabilizer, will it become much stiffener?

Stiffer roll-wise, yes. How much depends on the diameter of the bar..

no, as far as i know its the stock swaybar. but the clamps were a pain to put on. but its better that the old worn out original ones.
