Sway bar on mbs - what a difference!

[bob5560g]

I just replaced the wimpy factory rear sway bar on my 2015 Forester MBS with a beefy one from Hellwig. It made a BIG difference in that annoying back and forth roll when you enter a gas station or similar. And it tightened up the roll considerably when you go around a corner. I'm optimistic that it will help with the scary shove that strong side wind gusts give us.

Hellwig p/n 7254. I paid $245 directly from Amazon (sold by Amazon) which included free shipping. Then I paid a shade tree mechanic and his helper $100 to remove the factory sway bar and install this one in its place. (I laid on the ground and watched to make sure it was done right...) One person could do it but it would be hard. It was pretty easy with two.

BTW, it did NOT stiffen the ride quality for normal straight driving, but it did help immensely with the items described above.
