    can anyone here confirm the diameter of a rear swaybar in a factory fitted VN V8 (fe2 or stock suspension), or if by chance the production code still happens to be on it?

    Well today i went to U pull it, at Elizabeth, didnt find anything at there so went to Gilman, no cars at either had factory fitted Fe2 on the build plates, but on the last VS i looked at i managed to find a set of Rear Fe2 springs from a sedan, which still had there tags and were not cut, so i grabbed them for $30.00

    also think i have found…[Read more]

    theres only 1mm between the physical size- fe2 is 25mm, but a stock one from v6 is 26mm

    just depends if there made from the same grade spring steel,

    i’ll let you know about the springs, i’ll go for a drive Wednesday to u pull it, and take a set of verniers. try and sort out rear springs and front and rear swaybars

    what did you want for them?

    HT code (SS) which is variable

    leaning towards EG front…[Read more]

    im not sure on what my chance’s are of getting a 20mm rear swaybar from a VR/VS V8 with fe2 and live axle, most i would think are IRS, so i might be a bit of a search, might have to look at a few VN V8’s, they might be the same

    i’ll have a look at a few wreckers this week sometime and see how i go
