Anti Sway Bar

Post by **erikv11** » 19 Feb 2017, 12:31

The standard IPD kit is 25 mm front, 22 mm rear. The factory rear bar you need to measure, I have seen them from 20 mm to 22 mm. That doesn't address internal construction, but gives you the vernal point: they are not too far apart. Tell us if you do measure it, I am always curious what's out there for the rears.

Short answer: the car may understeer some with the IPD bar up front, but it won't be dangerous. I would try it out, see what you think.

Well I was driving my V70 3.2 2008 and decided it needed some suspension attention.
Bilstien touring front and rear IPD front end links front and rear anti-sway bushings and motor mounts .
Finished the rear shocks started the front ...
Oh and also replacing BOTH half shafts as well!
Trouble with one ball joint on the drivers side so I pulled the control arm so I could address the pesky bugger off the car.
Then ordered new sway bar bushings , when they arrived they were very small. I did some research and it seems that they changed the sway bar diameter ?!
Has anyone else had issues fitting the 22mm bushings ? Volvo has discontinued the bushing part and the replacement seems to only fit the updated sway bar.
So no more 22mm sway bars?
Any thoughts ?

This is in the wrong section. I have no idea on P3 sway bar diameters.

Hoping the IPD sway bar links are better these days than they used to be. I fitted a set to my V70 R and they went loose in under 6 months. Total garbage. Mayle were better but went back to OE.

There are the Ultra Racing ones, but if anything they are more expensive than IPD

You mean "cop springs?"

Does (or did) HEICO make sway bars with their other suspension bits? The product page looks like it's only newer chassis'. No market for older cars maybe....
