am at my deep end when it comes to suspension. but did google a bit, seems to me just another (better?) way to connect the antiroll / sway bar to the suspension (wheel/axle). You need to have urs replaced? doesnt look to me to be an expensive job.

Sing Bill, I think this is the hood cover we have been talking about:


I also think it might be a good idea to follow this spoiler design as a complete package:

I imagine stronger drop link would be needed if stiffer sway bar had been installed (to avoid flex in the drop link).

The green arrow is pointing to the actual piece (I think) that could be replaced by aftermarket drop link... but how is that one I posted before better than that one on the picture below? (I think this is more like what I was hoping some of you guys can tell me)

stronger and thinker and lighter maybe. But if it is metal like the SWbar then most of the time it is much more heaver

The aftermarket one does look much thicker than stock so assuming it is stronger, then it will make the sway bar more effective I guess.
