I jsut ordered new adjustable LCA's, adjustable Panhard Bar, and front and rear sway bars from Spohn. How hard is this to install? Im assuming the hardest part would be the front swaybar? any tips anyone car give me for changing these parts out? and can all of this be done in one day?

I would suggest an air ratch for the front sway bar bolts. Mine were stubborn since they were untoughed for 4 years in the NJ weather.

Oh, and use jack stands........safety first :)

yea i figured an impact wrench to get the bolts off. and a hand ratchet to put the new ones on. oh yes jack stands is a must.

Yeah, I pulled mine off last winter and it was a bitch they were on there so tight. I had to go and buy new endlinks cause the old ones were corroded so bad.

i just did an adjustable panhard rod and it was EASY. the only problem i had was i didn't have a 1.25" wrench, luckily my dad had one.

it can be a pain when you are adjusting it, because the wheels have to be on the ground. you might be better off with ramps.

spray them with something the night before to loosen them. Then before you wrench them off take a wire brush to the threads of the bolts to get the ruse and all off so your not fighting them the whole way off.

On the fronts they just snapped on me when i took off the swaybar on my old bird.

4 years, and you had problems!!

Try 16 years! But I must say that my dad had them replaced, at some time, with poly-u units. They were still a PITA to get off.
I suggest you get the TDS Wonderbar as it is a great replacement for the stock unit.

i did a complete rear end swap on my back in my garage with all hand tool, wasn't hard at all. I gotta swap out my torque arm again soon, that 88 iroc arm has been there too long and my spohn one is collecting dust waiting for a new driveshaft to go in at the same time. next big thing is dropping the front k member with engine to do the motor swap, but thats after i get a twin post lift in my garage :twisted:
