No welding, just drilling. I have pictures of the hole locations from a junk Vanagon. I got the sway bar from it and installed on my Westy. Anyone who wants pictures please e-mail me. I took me most of a day to install outdoors in the cold and high winds with dirt blowing in my face. The sway bar make a huge difference on cornering curves and straight ahead driving. The body doesn't lean over anymore , even on a rough rutted and sloped roads. I drove over 300 miles highway and the ride is even smoother. Before the sway bar the rear of the Westy was bouncing side to side , affecting the steering. Now the steering is easier, and the Vanagon tracks straight. The slight wander I had is gone.

Has anyone actually installed an Addco rear bar on their van? If so, how much welding/drilling/etc was needed? Thanks!
