 Subject: rear swaybar???

Message:
Is their a replacement for this flimsy looking piece of metal
in the rear that resembles a swaybar??? I have a 99 CC 5.2L 4X4.
I'm having a tough time believing this "bar" actually works, but
that's just me.

Only one way to find out. Run some fast corners with an empty and full bed. Make sure there's some quick L-R-L, so you can evaluate transient response.
Now, remove the sway bar and run the same course at the same speed.

I added a 3/4" sway bar to my 2wd 00 cc and it made a big difference, my truck didn't come with one. I think the stockers are 9/16", a bit smaller, but it still should help control the rear end quite a bit. I think Addco and Hotchkis have 7/8" rear sway bars that connect to your stock end links. The BellTech I added on didn't need the stock end links, but bolted up to the pads on the rearend.
The stock bars aren't going to make the truck handle like a sports car, especilly on a 4wd, but they will help control the truck. I had a set of thick swaybars on a V8 S-10, that thing would stick to the corners. When I got my first Dak, I realy missed the old truck because it handled much better than the Dak, but that was the only thing I missed.

If you can get to a junk yard, yank one off an R/T. It's a bit bigger than the one you got.
