Re: sway bar

If you're just looking for a replacement, just get a stock one of the same size. Should be availiable at a junk yard.

thanks

Re: sway bar

They will fit any Fbody, but there are different widths between certain models, i.e. Firebird to WS6, or a regular Camaro to an SS. Just have to watch the width.

they will all fit, but they are anything but the same.

if you go the junkyard route, make sure it is off the same type of car (you will basically want a v6 camaro/firebird one)

too bad you dont live a bit closer, i could weld it up for you, i had the same problem and a nice weld round the broken spot worked great

Upgrade to the 30mmfront/19mm rear Z28,TA bars while your doing it.

You can get a WS6 bar for $60 off ebay. $40 for a 19mm. This is a noticeable upgrade, it makes the ride a little more controllable.

Re: sway bar

I'd go with a 32mm/ 19mm if your going to the scrap yard to check them out, that would be a nice gain. I run 32mm/21mm sway bars nice and firm.

Re: sway bar

I did an online search for a 32 mm sway bar in the Toronto area. Only one scrap yard had one. They're asking $65 U.S. for it. Is that reasonable?

very reasonable...make sure it isnt cracked on the passenger side though...mine is fractured up there now

Re: sway bar

I'm assuming since you said the shocks were an easy swap that you just replaced the rears, in which case you will want to stick with a stock v6 bar from pre 97 if the car is, and post if the car is. That is, unless you want to swap out both bars for a bit of a performance upgrade, in which case I'd go with 32/19 off an SS/WS6.
