what would you pay for sway bar kit?

[irondiezl3]

my local shop i go to will install a new sway bar kit for 113.58 after tax is that a terrible rip off ?

[cherrington17]

Is it sway bars,that you need a hydraulic press to install, correctly?

[Cliff8928]

No press required, but I'd say that's a deal considering how difficult the front one is...

i thought this was about how much id pay for sex. im sad now.

[irondiezl3]

sorry for creating alof of threads ive just had alot of things go bad on car and i like to ask here before i go to shop because everyone knowes our car so good on here. i got a pm from someone who nicely said its upsetting people and im wasting space so if ive upset you guys or anyone for that matter im sorry as far as the price it sounded decent to me i think its for the rear tho is that still a good price? alls the invoice says is sway bar kit 113.58 so im not sure whats broke on there or whats in a kit im assuming bushings and a bracket idk. he lubed them for free to help with noise until i get them fixed.

[Bad99Olds]

[irondiezl3]

Are these aftermarket?

Seems too cheap

[kwhauck]

i think he meant the price for install....

[alerored04]

Seems like he is discussing rear endlinks. In which case I would not pay that since they take around 20 min per side and are easy to do. If you do not want to diy then yes that is a good price.

[irondiezl3]

yea the invoice just says rear sway bar kit? 113.58 yea its aftermarket at midas not factory gm.

[Redog]

Aftermarket as in OEM style or aftermarket as in upgrade?

$113 for an install isn't bad, I paid around $200 to have put mine in. The front one is the hardest

[irondiezl3]

oem style yea good ill do it then!!

[alerored04]

The question to ask is is it the whole bar or just the endlinks? I have no idea why they would replace the whole bar, there is no reason to do that. Ask a few more questions first. Also why are you having them do this?

[irondiezl3]

car made a rumbling sound while driving even on flat road. found a shop to do it for 50 bucks worked like a charm. but had rear struts replaced with monroe sensatrac most expensive ones they make car actually drives worse now slight shimmy while driving. maybe struts have a break in period?


are you suppose to get an alignment after new struts?

[alerored04]

Yes you need an alignment after new struts. That should be the first thing done.

[irondiezl3]

but alls alignment does is help even tire wear not any affect on ride quality right?

[alerored04]

Do you mean softness of ride or shimmy and swaying? It will not soften or stiffen your ride but it will make the car drive straight and not move around the road on its own.

[irondiezl3]

my car drives perfectly straight but i know it needs one just because its been so long plus like u said the shocks. no because my car has a shimmy or shake after 30mph and on highway its insane. i have replaced tires allllll new brakes struts sway bar kit balanced 4 times literally nothing has fixed the shimmy or shake everytime the shop says sumthin new i try it and it doesnt work. the wheel doesnt move its the actualy fame of car. i went to shop today he said sont waste ur money on the alignment that wont fix what you are describing. i thought maybe it was cheap aftermarket drums but the shop put good ones of their own on and still shook like crazy. then i thoght maybe because i changed the struts but not the mounts shop said its a 2004 in very good shape youd be wasting your money changing the mounts they are fine. i was praying a alignment could possibly fix this problem
