Sorry that I don't have pics of my ST sway bar rear app.
But I can tell you that if I find time this weekend I will take few and post them. The hardest part to me was figuring where the trailing arm was if I remember correctly. It also didn't come with tube spacers for those bolts and urethane bushings. It bolted right up to the rear though.
If you haven't completed your install by Saturday I should be able to take some pics and post them by then.

hey dahmin! thats the exact problem im having with the installation is in the traling arm! i would really appreciate it if you did take those pics! im a visual learner more.

The trailing arm looks like an elbow or arm pointing towards the front of the car. Look for an L shape laying on it's side. They are right next to the drum. After you raise the rear wheels, you will need to load up the rear wheel, (place a block of wood under it) in order to connect those bolts and bushings.

I took some photos, with the car down and they are kind of bright. It night time here and I couldn't turn off my flash. But you can kind of make out some details.

Just remember the connection that you are trying to make is in front of the rear strut, and the 90 degree angle connector is facing in towards the center of the car.

Right side

Left side


I hope these help, but like I'd said in the earlier post I should be able to find time and day light to raise the car up and remove the wheel so that you be able to get a better view.:smoka:

wow, umm i think i know where your talking about...but im not sure ya know. where does the L shape connector that comes with the sway connect too..thats the thing i dont see. is it a bolt or a hole or what? well i guess ill wait and see if you have time but those pics help out alot cuz i figured how the sway went and how to hook it up to the chassis. thanx

[Drocca91]

p.s. it has nothing to do with the control arms huh?

[Dahmin8]

That 90 degree angle should match up to a hole in the trailing arm.
There should have been an included bolt, washer and nut set for both sides.
The L shape that I was reffering to was the trailing arm, not the 90 degree angle.
Just bolt up the 90 degree to the side of the trailing arm.
Once it is bolted up you should be able to connect the rest of the sway bar with the included long bolt and bushings.
There wasn't a tube spacer in my kit.
I think that you may need it (the tube spacer) to stop any rattling noise.

Oh yeah it's not the control arm in the rear.

Here are those pics that I promised. You won't have to wait until Saturday. They are bright and it's really dirty, but I believe you can make out enogh detail.




Good luck.

wow man thanx alot! i get it now! im going to try it and see what happens..ill keep you update. i knew i am a more of a visual learner.=) thanx a millions again!

[Dahmin8]

I am just making a guess but I seem to remember having to drill out the hole on the trailing arm a little bit to allow for the size of the bolt that was included. But there was a hole there where you see the connection.

what shocks/struts are those ? I'm in the process of getting and installing some AGX's

[Dahmin8]

AGX adjustables

YAY!!! i just installed my ST rear sway bar! couldnt have done it withou Dahmin so i give him all of the credit! it was easier than i thought...lucky my traliling arms had the EX holes already so i didnt have to drill anything. i CAN feel a difference but not major which is ok...cuz i still got the struts to upgrade and give me more handling. but yea im very happy! thax again dahmin! =D
