swaybar question

Does the rear subframe need to be removed to install all but the Webb bar?

We installed a few alta rear bars,

The subframe does not have to be removed, but you will have to remove the 4 bolts and lower it about 2 to 3 ", We also removed one shock to make the install easier. Hope this helps

Not on the webb bar Michael. You would only have to lower the rear subframe if you wanted to save the bar you have on now by not cuting one end off.

I should have asked the question a different way...I'm such a hyper weenie these days.

The Webb bar is attractive for many reasons - ease of installation is one, as you point out Greg. What I don't want to do is upset the alignment in the back by droping the subframe if I decide to purchase the H-Sport for example. I can't see how the alignment will be affected...but then, this project has taken some wierd turns of late.

Michael

I just called Webb motors Sports to order the extreme bar. I like the bar, it'll be very easy to install and its barely a hundred bucks more when factoring in adjustable endlinks.

Anyone need a pair of Alta rear adjustable swaybar links? Fronts have been installed.
