so i bought a trd rear sway bar today and i tried to install it, couldnt do it :cry:

is it safe to drive without a sway bar for about 5 miles to a mechanic?

It should be fine.

Why couldn't you install it?

Yeah, the car will handle like >>I'm a douche<<, but you can drive it like that. I had some tough times installing mine too. It seemed like nothing fit quite right, but I finally got her on there. You'll be happy with the change in handling once you get it installed. Good luck!

Yup- no problem driving it that way. Lot's of older cars don't have a sway bar at all.

it was so frustrating, everything wouldnt line up

If it doesn't line up one way flip it, and try it the other way.

What it is also is that the strut and spring setup is hanging down lower then normal, you need an additional jack to compress it upward or just lower your car with the wheels and everything on the car so the holes line up

Took me about a week to install mine, long story. I broke some stuff and had to fix it. But it was all worth the trouble in the end.

You're going to lower it or your mechanic is going to lower it?

Just busting your balls over here!

The sway bar feels wonderful. I finally heard the rear wheels squeal a little as I was switching interstates. My friend in his Mustang was lagging behind on the turns.
