4th gen sway bars compatibility?
ive searched and found nothing so im posting if this has been covered somewhere please delete this and direct me thank you...
will the sway bars from 4th gens work on a 3rd? i have a 4th gen rear that im waiting to put on in the spring, it came with the sway bar and i want to know if i can just leave it there and bolt it up or will it not work, also my car is a base V8 car(non formula/ T/A) the rear is from a t/A will this be an upgrade??
if its stronger then the stock one then will i need to compensate by getting a better front sway bar??
thanks for any thoughts/help

Check the following FAQ out about 10-bolt questions, such as strength and upgrade:

I am assuming you are meaning will the sway bar be an upgrade not the rear end.
The only way to know for sure is to measure them. I believe the rear one on my 4th gen T/A is a 19mm. So I'd say it's not likely to be larger than the one on your car already.
