Re: 1997 850 Wagon NA Rear sway bar swap

Hey guys
I found an 850 sedan with a rear sway bar on it. Can I yank it off and bolt it right on to my wagon? Is there anything special I need to do? Or should it just be bolt on and drive?
Thanks
Nick

IPD claims that their swaybar kit will fit both a 93 sedan and a 97 wagon, so I would guess there is some compatibility.

Worst case it doesn't fit on your wagon and you can resell it or put it back on the sedan.
