Eibach sway bar kit install??

[dubspeedGTi]

Does any one on here have the eibach sway bar kit if so can you post some instructions. I am highly upset! I ordered my sway bar kit over a month ago the kit cam in in like 4 business days, which is cool. However the hardware kit and instructions were missing I called the company I orderedthem through and told them of the problem. They said they would ship it right out. That was cool and all them a week later I still have no hardware kit, so I call again they have no record of my call the previous week and thjey say again they will ship it right out. Two more weeks go by and I still have no hardware kit. I call them up again they say oh yea it was shipped on the 16th but it ws shipped USPS and we cannot track it. So today I go to the post office to get my mail and finaly the hardware kit is here but no instructions. I don't want to wait another 3-4 weeks to ge the instructions so I was hopeing sombody on here could help me out.

thanks in advance

Re: Eibach sway bar kit install??

for the most part I can figure it out by look at the hard ware but if ther is any specific type instructions that is what I need. And also will I have to take the whole lower sub frame off of the front to put the front bar on?

thanks
again

Re: Eibach sway bar kit install??

you can undo the bolts for the steering rack and let i stay there. undo the lower trans mount. undo the subframe bolts and take it off. this is where you see why to undo the steering rack. the lower control arms are still attached at this point so decide if you want to try and wrestle the old one out/new in, or remove those control arms from the spindle. the motor should stay up when the subframe is off. put lots of lube on the new bar where it mounts. not sure if you have access to a hoist but it makes it nicer to do. hope this helps. sorry i got no pics or links for you, just what i can remember from doing it myself.

oh ya, you should get an alignment after.

Re: Eibach sway bar kit install??

thanks I got them both in this afternoon. I decide to just wrestle hte front bar in as you said. It was not too bad. One question is you front bar from eibach teh same as the oem bar. they sure look the same to me and I even checked with the other bushings and they seenm the same. only differencfe on the front is the polly bushings. the straps on the rear were a bit of a pain to do by myself but I eventuly got them.
