Re: Front Anti-Sway Bar - Washers?

["Doug Teulie" <IDougT@email.msn.com>]

I installed the Neuspeed upper stress bar on my MK1 and
it took a lot of pulling but no drilling. Mike Potter, Ian and
I have never had more trouble than this MK1's install.
I have bars on both the MK1 and MK2. If you have not put one
on your car yet do it. And if you have a 8v put a lower stress bar
on ASAP. You will save your car.
