3 series sway bar fitment

jvzhp · 10-03-2007, 09:14 PM

are the sway bars on sport and non- sport suspensions same on all 3series same? swappable? e92 to e90, xi etc. ? considering going with a complete sport transplant on my non-sport 325i.

no clue but i will have a complete sports package set (sway bars, shocks, coils) available off my 08' e90 in the next few weeks if your interested. it will basically be brand new as my car is hitting the shop for h&r sway and kw v2's immediately after i pickup from the dealer.

On the E90, the rear bar (part #33556764425) and front bar (part #31356766287) are the same for sport and non-sport.

Michael, a quick question: when replacing front sway bar, do i need to do alignment and other adjustment?

Pretty certain you don't need an alignment if installing sway bars (front or rear) only.

No alignment necessary after changing the front sway bar.

Alignment is recommended (not necessary) when replacing the rear sway bar. The sub frame has to be lowered, but the cam bolts do not have to be removed.

ray, so does that mean everything (camber angle, toe angle) are intact when replacing front sway bar assuming front shocks are not taken out right?

Frog and Ray good looking out on that...hat's off

On front sway, the links that attach it do not affect the ride height, wheel position or alignment.

Correct. No alignment specs are compromised when removing any front sway bar mounting points.
