I'm thinking about improving the handling a bit on my '96. (Well,
among other things... I'm trying to fit together a bunch of go-fast
goodies to get the best bang for the buck, and see what kind of deal
I can get from Jules) :)
I notice that Jules has front and rear anti-sway bars for
$190 (front) and $180 (rear). Looks like they're made by Addco.
(I don't know anything about 'em... Are they good?) Someone
posted earlier that they got an anti-sway bar from Summit for
about $100 bucks. That's almost half as much $$$. What am I
missing? :)
I seem to recall something about the '96 Dakotas coming with
an anti-sway bar of some type already. According to the MPI
catalog, "Your truck should have come with it, but didn't" (speaking
of the rear anti-sway bar). Perhaps I already have a front one?
Or should it be upgraded too? (Yeah, yeah, I suppose I should
just crawl under there and have a look but I've found other things
to do.) :) I have to change the oil today, so I'll look then.
[Speaking of oil, Wal-Mart has a rebate going on Mobil 1 synthetic,
if anyone's interested. $3.60 rebate with the purchase of 6 bottles
(= 1 case) Not a lot, but every little bit helps. :) ]
How hard are these anti-sway bars to install? Bolt-on? Does any
pressure have to be taken off the frame while they're installed?
Well, that's enough out of me for now. :)
