gotcha...

reminds me of some older 80's Chryslers...

I was looking at the image above, and it looked like the swaybar(aftermarket) mounted to the "dead axle" frame, and extended rearward to the trailing arms...but its hard to tell.




UPDATE...I thought so. it DOES extend and attach to the rear trailing arms. No WONDER it's an improvement over stock:

The rear trailing arms are the only point of attachment.

MWG2...your sway bar looks different than all the others I have seen. it extends past the torsion box, and appears to mount differently.

Well...not sure if that makes a difference...I will tell you this...the HHR handles a lot better since it was installed...I can take turns flat out at 50 MPH with no problems.

A little out of focus, but here is where it connects:

whose bar is that?(manuf)
anyone else run this bar?

I am curious why it sextends past the torsion box(box frame that runs across the car with the torsional support beam)

The mounting locations look to be more stable in yours, MWG2...but I am curious about how forward it sits, that's all.

Smoke, I'm sorry but I don't know who the manufacturer of the bar is; I purchased the bar from Trick Trucks in Frederick, MD, and they also installed it. But I will call them and ask them. I took the pictures today while the tires were being installed. Many folks have asked to see the sway bar (on another forum). So I thought you all would like to see the sway bar too. MAN, it really has made a difference!!
