Are you talking about the strut bar or sway bar? The swaybar is at the bottom of the strut assembly while the strut bar connects them together from the top. If it's the strut bar, just take it off. I doubt the front swaybar gets in the way of anything down there.

yes the sway bar...connects to each shock via sway bar end link.....which runs with the lower subframe....which has a noch in it for the stock exhaust...however i have a turbo kit installed so the downpipe is rubbing on the sway bar...i just need to know if the sway bar was different through the model years.
