Re: Sway bar recomendations

Finding a rear sway bar for an S-10 in the UK might be the challenge of the week. On the other hand I'd bet that there are some similar size indigenous to the UK rigs that have the pieces that will work great.

There should be some sway bars that will work that are close to 43-1/2 inches / 110.49 cm that are simple and can be mounted to clear the tie rods. I don't assume that anyone has the ability to visualize when it comes to these things. Well maybe you, Joedoe and a few others.

I'm not sure what the width is on this Land Rover discovery sway bar but I'd bet that with the proper links and a few tools you could have it mounted under his truck in short order. The same rigs have a rear sway bar that is similar to an S-10

Thin is that I often think out of the box, in that what will work great that a guy doesn't have to throw a ton of money at. If Rorinrat can measure his to see if it is stock MII width or widened and have a good idea of the + /- he can deal with in width and what he needs to clear the tie rods he can grab his handy tape measure and head to the purveyor of used parts who may have something that will fit. Hopefully with a matching rear bar.
