Like the title says I just want to know what are all the part I need to put the FE5 frount sway bar on my cobalt LT.

 

Should just need the bar and the mounts, nothing extravagant or weird. And of course the tools, time, and inclination

 

Well, obviously, the parts first. The bar, mounts, and probably the strut links (I don't know if they are different or not)

Then you need a lift and a floor jack. Some rather serious equipment. You need it because you have to remove the lower engine cradle to replace the bar. So you have to get under the car, support the engine, and unbolt the cradle.

 

I have a car lift but thats alot of work is there a how to on how to install a frount sway bar.

 

I haven't seen a how to on that one yet.

It's actually not a hard job, but it does require the use of that equipment. If you have it, it should only take about an hour really.

 

Ok I might have to make a how to. Thanks halfcent

 

Shouldnt have to unbolt the cradle totally. Once you take the rear 2 bolts out it should drop enough to get anything you need. I think I'll take a look myself later today at work

 

I know on the cavalier there were 4 bolts holding up the subframe, once u removed them the cradle/subframe would drop 2-3 inches giving enuff room to put the sway bar in...I must have swapped sway bars in/out about 8 times (my friends had cavaliers too). I would count on 3-5 hours for a first time unless nothing is rusted.

correct me if i'm wrong i thought the fe5 bar was welded or something into the strut tower on the ss s/c
