Re: Anti-sway bars U bracket for a 1997 850

Thanks scot850 for your nice advice. Got the bar from the ebay seller as it seemed to me the best option. Made the guy an offer that he accepted and got a fabulous deal for the OEM material. I'll also change the link kit on both sides.

Hi, I did everything mentionned in the 3 pics showing how to rebuild the motor and I'm now reputting everything back in place. I was wondering, is it really necessary to put the small metal plate over the bearing if this bearing is held in place between the small brass sleeve and the bearing. It's n...

All 4 sub-frame bushings, all the engine mounts (front, rear, top, bottom, pad) and the struts. Conclusion: not much better than bef...
