Dont get an expensive front PST sway bar, save your $$
and get a stock westy sway bar from junk yard.
Now the rear PST sway bar i like, its just a pain to
install, the instructions arent worth a crap. The
front PST sway bar i have doesnt fit well and
eurethane PST bushings squeek all the time, ive gotten
used to it. its a strange ride having front and rear
PST sway bars, especially going 75 MPH, it gets a
little hairy.
