Rear Sway bar?

[bushpilot]

Yep, mine is CCD

@Deadman how's the ride in "eco" mode?
I like the shift strategy of echo mode but the ride is wet noodle soft.

Honestly I've never tied it in ECO, because before the sway bar, it handled sooooo bad in ECO.
I just run it in Normal 99% of the time and it does great. Still a touch soft, but much much much better than with the factory rear bar. It still bobs up and down a little bit, but all that side to side BS is completely gone. You can literally feel it trying to lean, but the bar ends it.

Ok, so having my rear sway done today along with rear Bilstein 5100 and front Bilstein 6112 and UCA.

The guy doing it for me sent me this. Damn sway bar link undone.
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone doing the rear sway replace the swing links?

My links were fine, mines low miles. Mine was connected and tight.

The failure mode looks like it was twisted off. Did they use an impact on it? The service manual is very specific that impact wrenches should not be used on several of the ball joints up front including the sway bar.

That is the factory installed, we had not touched it at all.

I just turned 10k on mine. That’s pre-install.

I’m having some new rear sway links overnighted from Rock Auto.

So I guess with all of Hellwigs screw ups to me, they decided to send me an extra rear.. so anyone looking for one, I got one that will go for sale.

PSA, don’t buy the front sway bar kit. It hits the damn oil cooler.. [emoji2357].

Will be trying to send that back.

If the two pieces have been rubbing together for that long it should be obvious with missing paint on the bar and the link. If not my guess would be the impact is the culprit. If so you should drive it around with the factory bar hooked up. One side off is basically like not having the bar on.

Yeah.. not doing that one. I ordered some rear links off Rock Auto, they got here yesterday just in time slapped them on.. 10x better than OEM.

So got rear sway on, new Icon UCA and Bilstein 6112 up front and 5100 in the rear. Damn! Drive and rides so damn much better..

May need to raise the 6112 a bit more to raise and level it out a bit more.. seems to sit lower.. but overall pleased with the set up.

Anyone needing a rear sway bar, let me know. I have an extra one.. [emoji2369]
