Ihad a bad experience with my Au 6 I fitted a whiteline sway bar to the front
and the bar u bolt broke. I was told they do that. I fitted heavy duty front and back after that and have had no probs. To much wheight for one to handle on hard cornering. When it snapped I almost went bush. With 2 it feels smooth no growning from up front. Why they dont fit them as standard?

Ba on has both cant be a wrong choice.

All the best

I did whitelines on F&R on the AU2 (live axle) and it transformed the way the car handled. One of the best mods done to that car.

Cool Re: AU fairmont Ghia rear sway bars

I agree getting both was best ever cornering is flat and predictable in control. I am happy I did it
