Sway bar questions

[Bklynrx7]

Will sway bars from a 2.7t fit a 4.2l? I was under the impression that the bars on all c5's are interchangeable but I just noticed that hotchkis has different part numbers for each. Thanks in adavance.

Dont know, but its prolly smaller in diameter so defeats the purpose.

Well, there was a sport option for the 4.2, and I dont have it, so I was attempting to put on sport model sway bars which i would assume would be thicker. But the ones I have came off of a 2.7t. If noone knows I might have to get the car on a lift and compare.

Apparently, they are the same part number, so, logically, they should fit. There are two bars, Standard and Sport. The Sport bar won't fit the bushings of a Standard bar, but if you got the bushings with the bar, it should bolt up.

Just thinking the bar for the 2.7t would be smaller than the one for the heavier 4.2..

Im just gonna have to go under and check. on the diameters but as far as bolting up, are you saying its the same?

[Midniteoyl]

I honestly dont know... Still trying to figure out if there's one out there for my car... For all the people out there who 'know', no one seems to really know.. ya know?

LOL I understand exactly what you mean.

I don't know if you'll find what you're looking for, but you can look in the Febi catalog. Is worth a shot.
