01 cavalier missing front sway bar
Sunday, October 22, 2006 7:09 PM
I'm new to the site. Thanks for having me. I just bought an 01 base model Cavalier. As I'm cornering I noticed alot of body roll. After investigating I have found that there is no anti sway bars installed front or rear. Is this a common thing for a base?? I plan on adding one. I just need to go junking for the bushing bands.

Thanks in advance.

Tom

if you have the FE0 suspension it wouldnt have one. Check on the spare tire cover to see if it says FE0, FE1, FE2

Hey Thanks alot. I will have a look. I am gonna install a sway bar cause I can't stand the body roll. Any sugestions? I found one on ebay, I think it is an addco brand.

Thanks again

Thanks for all of the replys. I will have to work on this problem. I don't want the body roll. I might have to slow down.

yeah its a PITA to install one after the fact...

my subframe got replaced, so when they pulled it i got them to put in the biggest z24 swaybar (i think it was 00-02) 24mm bar

major difference

Buy an Eibach antiroll kit, 27mm front swaybar FTW!

There is a GP on right now for Addco sway bars. Great price, and the bars are great aswell.

Hey sorry for the delayed reply. That would be great but I live in Indiana. I will have to check the salvage yards.

Thanks again

Theres the group purchase for Addco 1" bars, the cheapest price you're gonna find around here! I would order some from him asap if you really want some.
