Rear Sway bar- Does it do anything???/

I just got my car aligned at Firestone, and they told me that the rear, ADDCO sway bar does nothing, because of the beam style axle, is this true??

the rear suspension on a j is in effect one large swaybar. Being as it is basically sheet metal, it isn't as stiff as you would expect given its size. An aftermarket rear swaybar stiffens it up, which is what a swaybar does.

disconnect the endlinks, take some corners, reconnect the endlinks and do the same set of corners.

then go back to firestone and tell them they are idiots...

definitely noticed a difference when i installed my rear addco, even more so with the rear tie bar accenting it.

Wow, I swear they'll hire anybody to work on cars these days...

I feel like a rear sway bar is the single best suspension mods you can do to one of these cars since they never came with any sort of rear sway bar.
