Contour SVT rear sway bar install - Page 3

There arent any 626 in the yards here that are newer than 97, otherwise I would go that route. But for some reason the Contour is in there...

Just wanted to add that the 99+ protege with the FS 2.0 comes with an 18mm sway that is a direct fit.

It dosnt have that wierd bend in it that the skiny 1.6L bar has.

I did some more measuring and found that the mx6 and some 626's have the 26mm front sway and the probes and some 626's have a 28mm front sway bar.

All 2G probes I measured SE and GT had the 28mm bar and all 2g mx6's had the 26mm bar.

I measured several 626's and some had the 26 and some had the 28. It didnt seem to matter what year or engine it was. I measured 2 94 V6 cars and one had the 26 and the other was 28.

Both the 98+ 626's were 28mm however.

One rear bar was 16mm the other was 18.5mm.
Picking it up Monday.

My pictures will show you why you can't use them nor the stock links, back on page 1. The angle that they will be sitting at will be too extreme and cause them to fatigue and fail very early. RX7 links>Altima links
