So I’ve run into a conundrum -
A couple years ago I installed a 25mm front 9/7xx sway bar and the matching rear bar in my wagon. (1992 6cyl 960) The bar seems a bit different that the ones in the pictures in that it sticks out pretty far.
It fits but when you lift the car up, the bar rests on the engine block and oil filter, meaning that to change the oil you have to raise and lower the car several times. My mechanic said it shouldn’t be an issue driving unless I’m getting air going over a bump (I wish I had that much power).
So I know these things are designed for 4cyl cars and IPD will say they aren’t compatible with 960s. I originally had a 19mm bar in there, and I’m thinking of putting a Volvo 23mm bar in so that everything will be in the right place.
Will a 23F/25R set up handle much (if any) different than the 25F/25R iPD bars? Any concerns mixing Volvo and iPD?
Thanks guys!
