jacob Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 How hard is it to replace the front sway bar also how hard is it to replace upper lower controle arms? should I go with tubular or stock controle arms? I am not doing any suspension stuff now but I may do some in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 I saw some in original parts groups catalog but there pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 If you want good USA made tubular control arms check out BMR A-Body parts. I have their rear suspension on my car and it is great. I have also used them on a newer Camaro with good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicDragon42 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I agree with Ian. BMR has very nice suspension components at a reasonable price. As far as replacing the front sway bar is concerned, it is not very difficult to do. It can be done in less than 30 minutes but there is little reason to replace it unless it is damaged or you are going to use a larger bar. As far as the control arms are concerned, there is no reason to replace stock control arms with stock control arms. If you are trying to improve the handling of your Monte there are several past posts in this section that have many good suggestions as to what to do based upon your budget and desired end result. Most likely you will want to upgrade the springs, perhaps the control arms, bushings and shocks and that is just on the front. For certain you want to put together a complete plan for both front and rear before you do anything. That way you will not be wasting any time or money as you do the work. You also might consider if you are going to change wheel or tire sizes in your plan. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 what is the benifit of having a rear sway bar??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montefrazer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 MUCH better turning and cornering. Minimizes the rear body roll. Does the same thing for the rear that the front one does for the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
