Should be no different for the front .... rear maybe a different story though depending on suspension setup.

Sorry, should've been more clear! I meant the rear.. The Whiteline website mentions AU ute excl wagon..

So I would be attempting to go from Live axle > Leaf rear

Are you sure? it says inc. wagon. Did only series 1 wagon have leaf springs then? Didnt realise any AU wagon had live axle.

Call whiteline. That'd be the way to go to confirm i guess.

Cam, I did look into this with my wagon, and whiteline do a 20mm bar for the rear and I think it is the same as for the utes. It does involve drilling holes, etc.

I did think about putting one on but Sox, who had been down that path before didn't think that it made a lot of difference, so I didn't bother.

However I did put a whiteline 27mm bar at the front along with with King low springs and new Boge shock absorbers. It does ride a bit firmer but it handles our twisty roads here pretty well. It's no sports car though...

i have the whiteline F & R. Although i dont notice much difference in the rear either i do notice i can hook it round roundabouts quicker and the rear comes off a bit straighter.

If you do go with the rear, read the installation instructions first regarding your exhaust piping. If you have a 50 and have twins, they get in thway and will need bending to allow for the bar.

My '02 AU3 wagon has leaf springs so of course it's a live axle. Any diff with leaves is a live axle.
