I wanna know what it looks like, not too sure and my Haynes manual doesn't have an nice pics of the stock one...actually, I have no idea what it looks like. Can someone post a pic of it? Preferably installed?
My bushings are seriously dead, it squeaks like crazy now over bumps, pretty annoying. When someone sits in the back seat, it gets even worse.
Anish, how much is the regular price they shipped to Canada if you know that off the top your head? If not, I'll do some research. Thanks....
Henry, the bar was $165 CDN shipped to us since we ordered like 6 or 7 bars to Toronto.
I can send you a pic of the bar+bushings installed. My camera is in Toronto and I'm in Waterloo now but I can get it done before the weekend for you.
You can only see the corner of the bar in your first pic. It looks sort of like an elbow peering out from behind those control arms. You need to crawl deeper under the car and take a pic. The swaybar is sort of hidden from horizontal view. It goes over top of these two arms that point front-back from the centre of the car.

Another thing you can do Henry, is to look for the horseshoe shaped bushings that come off the skinny little chickenbone swaybar endlink (about 8" long) and the thick bar attached to it is your swaybar.
Tell me if any of this helps. I don't have my Photoshop CD on me, otherwise I'd mark the "elbow" that I am talking about in your pic.
Either way I'll get a pic of my installed bar for you later.

Dinky thing! Crawl deeper? Elbow peering out
two arms that point front-back? Horseshoe shaped bushings that come off the skinny little chickenbone swaybar endlink?
Thanks Anish, I'm THOROUGHLY confused!!! :smile:
Can someone just name everything in this pic for me? I really hope the swaybar is in there...I think I labeled some bushings as well...I didn't know there were control arms in the back though...thought they only existed in the front....
The Swaybar is "E" (Correct me if I'm wrong guys - Kinda hard to see from this angle) It's the bar that is held up by two "U" clamps with bushings on it. Here's a pic of a sway bar off of Tony the Tiger. If you're planning on replacing, be careful about rust and stripping nuts. Ask Anish about that! Luckily, I had no probs.
opps, pic is a repost. My bad. Just trying to help :smile:
The U Clamp and Bushings look like this... (Note: this is off a 'Teg, so the location is totally different. But you get the idea, I hope!)

A = Tierod or control arm.
B = Trailing arm
C = Control arm
D = Spindle
E = Swaybar
F = End of the control arm (A)
G = End the trailing arm (B)
H = End of the control arm (C)
I = Endlink for the swaybar
J = End of the control arm (A)
Thank you 88LE! I had a feeling you'd be the one filling out for me! I'm just glad I finally understand where that bar goes..why couldn't anyone just say it was behind all that other crap in the pic?! :grin:
HAHA that's what I said Henry! It was behind all the other crap... but not in those words.
Anyway, yes it is E and that is the "elbow" that was peering out of the first pic that you posted.
Phi, your bar looks like it was installed differently from where the factory bar was placed. Did your mechanic do a 90 degree flip or something? The U clamp is sitting 90 degrees off what it should be for sure.
