Stabilizing bar

[Rick's69]

Is a stabilizing bar necessary on a bug? i have one but im not sure if i want it. should i keep it what the advantages of having one? any help?

They are quite useful, they keep the body from swaying when you go around a corner.

Alright, thanks for the info. I had to replace my torsion arm and i found an arm off of an older car but it didnt have the bar. Thanks again.

Looking at another of your posts, where you ask about getting above 90 MPH, I recommend getting the heavy duty (3/4") sway bars, and also installing sway bars on the rear.

The stock suspension set-up wasn't designed for the speeds you want, and these cars aren't very forgiving when they start to get out of control.

oh alright, did any year of the bug come with the bigger sway bar?

[BoatCop]

Nope. Strictly an aftermarket performance item.

all right. Thanks
