I added a front strut tie bar to my 2015 Outback 3.6r Limited and with some 225/60 R18 Perrelli Cinturato P7 all season tires. I found that the combo was great for on road driving.
Been looking for the actual part number this bar. The link only takes me the parts page. Any help would be appreciated. Only thing I can find is OEM replacement for the 15mm. Mine is a Gen 5 2018 limited.
Been working cars a long time but not as easy in my case. Bought 19mm from SUbaru Proparts directly. 2019 Outback. Getting the end links to line up with the holes in the bar is a bear. In fact cannot do it. And if you do those first then the bushing caps do not align and you don't want to force those as those 2 bolts can strip very easily. Wonder if jacking it up will take the weight off. Admittedly I did NOT loosen the bolt that attaches the end link to the lower control arm so maybe that would help? But yeah, it is pretty far off on one side (passenger) currently.
I've noticed that the car is a lot flatter during turns. I haven't been on the highway to see if it helps with the wind. Please note, that the 19mm sway bar could had an adverse effect during heavy offroad use. Some are reporting that heavy offroad use can stress the bolts and break them.
Great video! It's great to see what's involved before crawling under the car.
excellent video. Nice to see the angles/installation of this without resorting to lifting your car up.
Sway bar is on upside down FYI.
You are 100% correct.
Nice video, helpful! Music is s bit loud compared to the talking though ;)

Is this the anti-sway bar from the Impreza/WRX?

What model/ year did the 19mm sway bar came from?
How come there's no rust on your car?
Did the new sway bar make a difference?

Thanks for the reply.
@@jjm2948 Why would that be better then a 19mm?
@@jjm2948 The 19 was put on for street driving. When we do our long offroad trips, I'll either put the stock back on or none at all.
Does anybody know if I can use this rear sway bar on a 2020 Outback XT?
Unfortunately you cannot, being that the 2020 is now on the Global Platform.
Do you change the front sway bar?
I have left the front sway bar stock.
@@xebapro I sure will, but I don't have any intention right now. I just put on the 2 inch LP Aventure lift though - need to shoot a video for that.
run far far away from those stock tires....
