mods welcome to another episode of
Mighty kods proudly supported by justar
insurance now swinging bars they're
popping up in cities all over the world
they where married couples go to have a
drink and share crazy intimate
experiences with other
married sway bars ah best bang for buck
handling what you can do stick it under
your car make it grip mad oh that's I
mean you can put them on for like 200
bucks do it in about an hour a lot of
people are going how do I make my car go
faster lose some weight sort out
suspension and add some lube and then
you can go faster dude I'm going to
Canada and you're staying yeah that's
fine I'm on my way to a sway bar so
whatever I'm in Montreal in Canada for
the 2012 North American Mighty Car Mods
Meetup while we're here JM who's a
moderator on our Forum mentioned that he
wanted to do up his car so we got our
tools and set up on his
driveway a sway bar has the same effect
as putting a stiffer spring on the side
of suspension that's compressed
okay so these are the tools we're going
to need to install our sway bar we need
a socket set and a breaker bar to get
the bolt under and we're probably going
to need some WD40 cuz there's a little
bit of corrosion under there and for
that reason too we're also going to
paint our sway bar to stop it rusting
got some sandpaper for that and uh most
importantly we've got a jack and jack
stand so we can work on the car safely
first put the car in gear and jack up
the car don't forget axle
[Music]
stands this car is almost brand new
right yeah pretty much and check out the
corrosion from Canadian Winters It's
upsetting wow how many years old is this
thing uh not even four the first thing
we're going to do is get under the car
spray around some WD40 so we have an
easier time getting those bolts out
while waiting for that to soak in we're
going to paint the sway
[Music]
bar clean the bar up with detergent to
remove Road slime and then wet sand
[Music]
I bought this second hand and I want to
paint it so that way the corosion
doesn't get to it too
bad we're going to paint it red for the
extra 25
KW tape up the mounting points as the
paint will only get rubbed off anyway
spray light even coats for maximum
[Music]
kilow WD40 will make removing corroded
bolts easier breaker bars good quality
sockets and a rattle gun will help
too on cars without crazy corrosion the
bar should come off easily with just six
bolts
[Music]
removed none of our Canadian spanner
sets included a 14 mil so we had to
crack out the adjustable one this is
usually a big no no but we're a long way
from our own
toolbox use a hex key to hold the sway
bar link while removing the nut then
pull the links out from the ends of the
bar
[Music]
so that's the stock bar look at that
check out the
corrosion it's less than 4 years old
it's already starting to rust
away so that's why we're painting the
new one mad we're going from 22 to a 36
mm sway bar a massive size difference
the sway bar is hollow which makes it
look a lot bigger than the factory item
next up it's time to grease our bushes
and install the bar back into the car
the sway bar comes with new clamps to
attach it to the shazzy we're going to
reuse our standard links but it's a good
time to upgrade we're using a cork sport
adjustable sway bar which allows you to
change how much stiffer it makes the
suspension from 40% 65 or 100% stiffer
than stock a stiffer rear sway bar can
make the ride a little more harsh but
it's worth it to make the car less
boy all right so the new sway bar is
almost in it's got to tighten up these
bolts you got to do them really tight it
is suspension after all so it's easy if
you got a big wrench this is a half inch
I think Americans and Canadians and all
that well Canadians don't love inches do
they they're metric right we're half and
half half half half half we don't like
to piss people
[Music]
off the bushes need to be regreased
occasionally to prevent it binding and
making noise but apart from that there's
no maintenance required
[Music]
now we're going for a test drive to see
how the uh rear sway bar is affect my
[Music]
handling our extremely scientific side
by-side example shot on different roads
shows absolutely nothing but looks
cool it's nice and it's only in the
middle setting too so I don't even want
to imagine what the the stiff setting is
[Music]
like now coilovers or anything it's not
like I have to worry about scratching or
scraping or going over bumps too slow or
too quick it's just you're feeling the
bumps a little more I'm sure I'll notice
it a lot more on the highway later today
but right now I'm just totally loving
[Music]
it there you have it sway bars a mad
bang for bu mod but probably the best
thing is the way that cars unite people
