Re: Re: Front swaybar install on a mk1



I understand now... :-)
Look at this link, and scroll down to the stressbar...

http://www.autotech.com/catalog/stresbar.htm

The mounts for the sway bar at the rear (top of pic) of the stressbar...  You will need the rubbers/poly mounts once you do this I believe...

Hope this helps...

I'm sure I didn't describe it clearly enough, but I'm pretty clear on how the subframe gets mounted, but what I'm unclear of is where the rear portion of the front swaybar mounts to the undercarriage...

Thx, JT
