I have long since replaced my factory rear swaybars with the Addco replacements and have been VERY happy with their immediate effect on my handling.
I was wondering from those that replaced their factory front swaybars what if any were the improvements? The addco bars are marginally larger than the stock ones so I did not do these 2 years ago.
But having a road course event coming up, I am now thinking of doing these.
I installed them with my Bwoody springs 3 years ago. My Jeep handles like its on rails. The front sqeeks and creeks, so I'm constantly spraying Fluid Film in the bushings.
I think for the size difference they aren't worth it and haven't done it. For the most part it is just an opinion because no manufacturer of parts ever tests their parts. They make them and let us be the guinea pigs. That's what sucks about being a limited build.
installed both front and rear, previously had the road magnet springs. Great improvement.
jacking up the rear from in front of the 4 link, on one side now lifts the front wheel a lot sooner then before , cant wait to throw it into some good corners.
Have had mine on for a few months now and I feel a positive improvement but not super significant. Deff a bit more like on rails and less roll. I give them about a B to a B+
I have a Front and Rear set. I swapped my Front Addco sway bar back to the stock sway bar. I could not stand the noise and the improvement with Addco was minimal for me.
I had rear and front put on a few months ago along with Energy Suspension greaseable bushings. My shop welded on stops on the front sway to eliminate potential for any side-to-side shimmy. I'm also not lowered.
I did feel an improvement throwing her into the corners, as did a couple of others that have driven her before and after. No noise at all with the ES bushings - I just grease them with the rest of the suspension parts as necessary.
I've heard they redesigned the rear bar but dont know about the front. I personally dont think I will ever install them but I know someone that did the rear and liked it and then the front and liked it more but was having the same side to side issue described so removed it and kept just the rear.
Do these bushing really fit? I have both front and rear. I've had them on since the very beginning (09) and like the way my rigs feels around corners. The noise up front is somewhat a pain in the arse so that's my reasoning for purchasing the bushing.
Roll Out!!
