Stabilizer Bar?

red72 · Aug 5, 2014

I overhauled the front end on my Satellite a few months ago and it drives well but it could handle better, especially when cornering. This car is a base model and doesn't have a stabilizer bar. The last Satellite I had 30 years ago was a Sebring and had a stabilizer bar. Seems like I remember it handling a lot better. My question is, have any of you installed a bar on a car that didn't have one from the factory and if so, did it make a difference? Thoughts?

Heck yeah it makes a difference!! Use poly bushings on it too. I like to go with slightly less heavy duty on the springs but use bigger bars for a better straight line ride yet still gives great cornering.

I have seen several kits that are available. Which do you recommend?

For just the sway bars there is Firm Feel, PST, Hotchkis, Helwig and others.

This one is from Firm Feel--and what a positive difference it made; outstanding!

You will be glad you did, and will be even happier if you put in a smaller rear bar too.

Update-I finally installed a front stabilizer bar and the difference is amazing! Did a little research and went with the Hellwig. Great quality and fairly easy to install.
