Front sway bar mounting questions

[Turbo Rob]

Simple question - I redid my front end with SC&C's Stage 2 Kit a while back, and I am not sure I "adjusted" my stock front sway bar properly. I snugged the end links of the sway bar down when the car was still on jacks.

I am now thinking this should have done when the car had the suspension loaded.

Can somebody give me the "sway bar tuning 101" and let me know how to do this properly on an 87 Buick Regal Tubo T?

Thanks,

Rob

when you say "still on jacks"...where were the jack stands? On the frame? or on the lower control arms?

The jackstands were under the frame.

There is no sway bar tuning or adjustment. And I don't think it makes any difference if it's on stands or not. The sway bar does not come into play unless the car is leaning such as in a hard turn.

I agree, if the bar/frame bushings where lubed properly it should not make a difference.
