Yep, finally got a chance to install my CT rear swaybar! I haven't cornered it yet because of the nasty weather, but hopefully I'll get a chance sometime this week.

The installation had its ups and downs. The OEM Endlinks gave me a good battle. They were pretty rusted, which gave me a difficult time getting them off. Also, the HEX on the endlinks stripped as well. So, the only method i could think of to getting them off was to break my endlinks.. and so I did.

I ordered a new set of endlinks from Advanace Auto Parts.. sadly they did not carry them in stock, and had to order them, but they came in the next morning.

Overall... The installation was fairly easy... Anyone who hasn't attempt this upgrade yet, make sure you have an extra set of endlinks because your most likely going to break your OEMs.

Heres some pictures...

I was hoping to get a Polished CT Swaybar as listed, but received a Gunmetal instead ehh…

That looks good! How challenging would you say it was to get it on? I've heard it isn't too bad, but I'm no expert in the sway bar/suspension department... :beer:

And what's the difference between the TL swaybar and the 98-02 upgrade out of curiosity?

After rims, this is my next mod. I wish they still had TL-S bars for $50, but it's still reasonalble at $100 or so. Plus my endlinks are still in great condition (low miles).
