SubaruLegacyWagon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 As the title says, I can't find the rear sway bar under the car. I'm looking at buying this upgrade, but I'm not sure where it'll go. Anybody have any information on this? Will I have to buy the brackets? Reason being, my rear tires are rubbing whenever I take corners fast, OR if there's weight in the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 If the car spent a lot of time on the trails, maybe a previous owner removed the bar(s) for more articulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmdew Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hit the local junk yards. I'm sure you will find many. Pull all the parts you need. End Links Swaybar Bushings Bushing brackets. www.car-part.com is also a good source, but you need everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Many of the older models didn't have them. Only higher end models usually. Forester for example - early L models were not equipped while the S model was. You will likely need mounts and end links. GD 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 In that era you’d need as mentioned , a special edition or high end Legacy. Our 94 Outdoor Sport edition wagon has that bar. As I can I will gladly take pics but I’ve used up my gallery here so send me a PM and I’ll try to get a pic to you of where and how it mounts up.

moosens Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 You can email me at moosens@yahoo.com and I can easily send a pic that way. Crappy weather coming next 24 hours and then freezing Sunday so I’ll do my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laegion Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) From your description there is no guarantee that a swaybar will fix your issue. It may improve it...but there may be more wrong than that. If your tires are rubbing from body roll then a swaybar may do it. If it's from heavy loads in the rear or a combination of weight, tired springs, and tired struts it won't cure your issue. However, it's probably a good idea to get one under there anyway; it'll handle better in hard cornering. I'd bet you can pick one up with brackets from a parts yard for a reasonable price...or at least the brackets.

SubaruLegacyWagon Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 I figured out what I'm missing. I need this part to clamp to my adjustable rear control arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
