My buddy just bought a 2000 A4, and I was looking it over. I see that his rear swaybar looks WAY smaller then mine (I have never upgraded it)

So I am thinking I have an aftermarket/upgraded rear swaybar on my car (from one of the previous owners)

I measured the swaybar and its .75" , which equates to ~19MM. The same size as a nuespeed. I dont see any neuspeed branding or any other branding on it. I did notice the bushings were dark red (I have had to lube them up)

Also the swaybar ends have 2 holes (for adjustability ?) Its on the farthest one out (loosest?)

Anyone have any insight?

im sure u have an after market one casue stock isnt adjustable

 

hmmm, well i know sport fronts are same as aftermarkets (I dont have sport package) is there way to check to see if the front bar is hollow?

Are the fronts adjustable? I havent checked that. I wonder what swarbar has 2 holes and maroon bushings... also, the hole closer to the outside is that stiffler or loser?

 

no the fronts arent adjustable

 

I just checked and yea, the front only has 1 hole, but I see most aftermarket ones are the same way. The only products i see are nuepspeed the even resembles my swaybar ,but the bushings on neuspeeds are RED , maybe they got darkers as the months/year went on?

I still need an answer to which is stiffer. the outside hole or the inside???

Being that a swaybar is 100-200+ $$ this is making me happier!

 

you tell us...you got the options...

 

inside setting would be more stiffer, and does ur car have sub frame reinforcements for the rear sway bars cause that a big issue wit u b5ers
