dgk22 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Has anyone changed from a 16mm sway bar to 18mm? I bought an 18mm one to swap over thinking mine was 18mm because it's quite rusty and pretty much about to fail, but it turns out the original on the car is 16mm. The car is in the shop for a front end alignment and gave them the new sway bar to replace, but according to them the mounting on the subframe for the 16mm and 18mm is different and the new one doesn't fit. Is this true, i thought lupo/arosa subframes were all the same. I understand that it would require new bushings and drop links, but somehow i doubt the mountings on the front subframe are different for the sway bar. Can anyone shed some light?

tigcraft Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Just swapped my Arosa 1.4 Tdi 19mm anti roll bar for a gti 22mm with matching bushes and no problem at all. The two main brackets on the subframe as exactly the same and the 22mm bush just bolted straight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
