Front Sway Bar
Hey Guys-
I just now got around to installing the rear bar (Hellwig) on my 2000 F150 Sport (major PITA) and what a difference! It feels super tight in the back end but now the front seems "not tight". I replaced the front bushings with poly style and that alone made a big difference in the feel.
My question is this: Will a new Hellwig front bar dramatically improve the handling? Is it thicker than stock?
Oh, and btw: I used the short bolts for endlinks and the threads were majorly (sp?) screwed up. So much so that I couldn't use the acorn nuts and had to use some I had laying around. I called Hellwig and they are sending me new bolts and acorn nuts.
Thanks!
