Heres some pics for you.


Sway bar...




The bolt ends... the control arm goes between the bushings... (the holes are predrilled. don't worry)






These loops bolt on right behind the front, front control arm bolts. (not as confusing as it sounds :P)

Looking at the sway bar connectors and the Calmini anti-sway kit, I may try to fabricate the brace that spans across the front lower control arm mounts. From looking at various pictures, that appears to be the bult of the kit  (correct me if I'm wrong)... not gonna pay $200 if it is :D

Also, thanks for the detailed pics, Kreg :)

I found that with the lift kit fitted the sway bar fouled on the steering linkage when the wheel dropped down.

Thanks Bobzooki :)

How much does the Calmini steering stabilizer help out? Worth the money?


Hey, that's not the Calmini unit, and I don't run ANY sway bar.  I do fine without, even on very twisty mountain roads, at high speed.

My recommendation?  Lose the sway bar altogether, and learn to drive your rig the way it handles without the sway bar.  Yes, it will have more body roll.  No, it's not the end of the world.

Seeing that I have a 2wd and have no intention of taking of off road. Does anyone make upper strut bars for my 97' Kick? And is there a rear lower strut?

Did you make your stabilizer, then? I am confused...
