Sway bars once again
I was looking under my car becuase I was told I didn't have a rear sway bar being a V6. However the rear one is there and it looks wimpy, but the front looks twice the size (maybe its a 32mm). Does that make sense? I was looking to get front and rear 32mm and then a wonder bar for better handling. Is upgrading worth it since it looks like a 32mm already. Thanks.

THe back bars are smaller and you could go to a bigger one <but you don't want to go as big as the front you want to stay a little smaller or you will be to stiff. Just put in some Poly end links ,and bushings for the size you have and you WILL be happy. There will be a deffinate differance.

I thought the wonder bar was aftermarket. Am I going to find one in a junkyard? Also, the biggest junkyard around here has about 15 F-bodies, but none are on rims so its impossible to get under them.

You will need to measure them ,or if you can take it with you when you buy them. GM used differant sizes for diffeant applications. If your going to do the end links also you might just as well take it completely off so just take it with you ,if you are going to drive the same car just take the cornners a little slower until you remount it ,plus this is the time to clean and paint if you want.
