sway bar on ls 430? any reviews?
#31
I just got mine from sewell, I only got a single bushing. Is this correct? it says it comes with "bushing(s)" Am i missing parts? I have an appointment son to have it installed and sewell is closed right now. can anybody verify?

My review.
The old bar was also left in my trunk. I have to say, I probably could not tell the difference between the two bars if side by side. Again, judging all by memory. I basically looked at the new bar for 2 min, before handing it over to the tech to put on.
However, I must say, A lot has come from that extra millimeter. The car no longer has its right rear fall back when turning left. It really does inspire a more sporty drive, and yes, I agree with the others, I do feel like driving another 10 MPH. I looked down at the speedo, only to find that I was doing close to 90. . The car's steering response it much improved. I'm liking it a lot. As another member had said, it feels like I upped the rear tires PSI by 6. Perfect way to put it. It holds well, without being harsh.
The improvement in the rear actually makes the front seem a *little* sluggish by comparison now. overall, yes, it is a worthwhile upgrade and I'm glad I did it.

Sports rear sway bar early review
Just installed this on my UL. Not sure if any others have written any reviews for this on the UL but I like it so far. Firms up the rear end and reduced bump steer and slightly less roll. Not a huge difference but I would estimate between 15 - 20 percent firmer.
48812-50130 for the bar
48818-50020 for the sports bushings
Edit:
I just got back from a 5 mile drive on the highway and one of the most positive effects is the reducing in what I call highway rear sway. Given the UL's with air suspension ride different vs the standard shock, I would notice that in normal mode the rear end would tend to sway a little back and forth under certain conditions. For instance, if the highway has some uneven wearing between the two areas the tires are riding on is when you would feel this motion. It is now almost non existent! I'm really happy with this simple OEM mod.
