Do I really need a rear stabilizer bar?

Mother's is always what I've used. It has a very good shine and goes on and off very easily, but it really doesn't last that long.

You still have 6 hours, minus drive time, left to work on that car. Now you're having "performance" troubles, AND, you don't even have the car cleaned up nice? Starting to doubt your ability to be a good Audi owner. They should have screened you more closely before they allowed you to purchase one of these fine cars. LOL

See you soon...

Chef, you are too hard on Audinam. I don't have time to wash my car either, and besides, it looks overcast today. I would rather wash my car myself too (maybe not every week though) but my apartment complex has no hose and what not, so the best option for me (without harassing any home-owner friends) is to go to a hand car wash, either Checkered Flag in Irvine or Audi Mission Viejo.

you need the stabilizer bar otherwise you will get wheel tuck in and you don't even want to go there I have on one of my old babies and wrote it off at 65mph, what happens is the wheels invert when cornering which causes the rear suspension to collapse (well known with the 60s cars

I'm just giving him a hard time. I live in a townhouse near the beach so I understand about hand washing the car and limitations. Luckily, I have an area, underground, that is perfect for car washing. You can spend as much time as you want this afternoon giving me a hard time. I can handle whatever you dish out.

See you soon.
