IM deffintly getting a sway bar on my 06 f150 now
just got my sway in, its amazing.
Great vid as alway's man,Good work keep them coming!!!
Nice job Chris Duke! This is an awesome video!
sweet vid
I heard that before installing the bushings on, in addition to adding the lube, wrap the sway bar that comes into contact with the bushing with teflon tape to minimize squeaking later on after the lube has worn away.
that sucks thought that you have to spend more money on the exhaust…
i like this video because the guy is actually laying on the ground doing the work like most of us. unlike other videos i have seen of more fortunate people using high speed equipment.
@HEMAS13 Thank you! That’s what the show is all about!
so sway bar = traction bar? still learning
@FlipMollc Sway bar = sway bar :) A traction bar is used to prevent rear axle hop, especially with lifted vehicles.
@motorztv possible to install both on a truck?

@FlipMollc Definitely! Most vehicles come from the factory with one or both sway bars. They serve different purposes and can co-exist.
@motorztv nice, thanks man, the info really helps!

Chris please answer this question. Why did you leave out the part that most of the nuts are lock nuts that are a full blown pain in the ass the tighten? I just installed this bar and i had to buy all new regular nuts because the lock nuts are ridiculously hard to put in. Lock tight is much easier.
StormTecify,I certainly agree with you about how hard the lock nuts are to tighten. I kept starting and then taking then back out thinking I was crossthreading. Then I begai to wonder if someone at the factory mixed up the nuts and bolts. I finally sprayed WD40 on them (and recommend that to anyone else) and that help alot.
I just install mine today in the front and I am more then happy with the product quality. Great improvement on my truck. I install it by myself and all I can say its broke my arms. Worth the investment.
should have really upgraded the end links to polyurethane as well
Question: I understand the Hellwig sway bar has 3 different mounting holes… you failed to mention in this video which one you used. I’m curious to know which you used when doing the comparisons between the “before” and “after”, and if you experimented with the settings, and if so, how much each one alters the handling.
I bought a rear bar for my f150. Have not had time to install yet. Cannot wait to see the difference.
