SuperBuick Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 HEHEHEH you did!!!! I want it back now!!!!!! lololol. Yes you do have to drill your frame like you mentioned, as the u-bolt does go through the frame like you mention. I suggest spacing the mounts away from the frame with washers, because if they are snug up against the frame your bar will squeak and grind against your exhaust. - Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 malibuolds... Is this bar interchangable with the TGP? What is the diameter of the bar? I need to find something a bit stronger than the piece of tin that is presently the TGP sway-bar... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per0781 Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 the diameter of the bar is 7/8", heres the link with the info http://www.addco.net/products/pontiac.shtml Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 It should fit a TGP. I have one on my Cutty! I used the Addco outer clamps and bushings, but used the OEM inner links with 96 Monte Carlo bushings. It fits fine. I wanted to try using 96 Monte Carlo outer bushings with the factory outer clamps since they are higher quality hardware than Addco supplies, but it looked like that would have spaced the sway bar in too far and might touch the rear subframe.

GnatGoSplat Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 You can always buy factory GM links if you don't like drilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBuick Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 It goes parallel with the frame so that it sticks down through it. Then you bolt up the hangar mounts to that U-Bolt. I basically makes it as if you had the bolts sticking out of your frame to mount a swaybar. Dont forget to space out the hangar mounts from the frame with washers though....

TGPilot Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 If someone has an installed Addco rear bar and could take a picture of the proper installation, it would be very helpful for me as I am getting ready to buy one for my TGP. I can look and see if things are similar enough to do it... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if that makes me less of a car guy it makes u more of it!? Whats to say I just sit and talk, or that I don't put my mind to things and do them? All I was saying is that I liked your car, and rather than talking about it or telling me a bit about it, you tell me you don't have time to do so. If that's the case, then I don't care to know. You sound like the kind of guy who goes to a car show and gets irritated when people ask you questions. That is of course unless going to a car show is wasting your time from whatever else you do.... I don't mean to have an attitude, as most of the guys on the board can tell you, I'm a nice person who really likes W-Bodies. Perhaps I misconstrued your remarks as more seriously than you meant them?? Either way, I'm sorry to ask you to waste your time, I thought perhaps I and others could benefit from your knowledge or ideas on the engine swap...but I guess not. Not to worry though, I will accomplish it with the help of others, and then I will talk about it all the time.[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
