Oh that is my fault, I briefly glanced at the ebay ad and thought that was for only one sway bar not two. Definitely more than fair then, although I don't think I have ever gone through the trouble to swap out a front sway bar as you usually see most of the improvement by swapping out the rear.

 

lol fair enough then

Having upgraded the rear bar on my XJR to the XKR-S one, stiffening up the rear really emphasised the roll in the front. Especially after seeing some photos taken off the car mid-corner at a track-day, stiffer front bar is a must for me.

 

Havent ever changed sway bars on any vehicles I've had. Any negative effects to ride or other things one wouldn't think of?

 

Kyanite, here is an interesting article with the pros and cons:

The Truth About Sway Bars - How they Work

 

I will ask to supplier to sell just front swaybar only.
Please contact him few days later.
I bet, you like the item

Yesterday I saw xf swaybar at e-bay.
I was very happy.

But after read item description, I sent a message to him for changing sample of compartible vechicles.

As I know, swaybar for NA xf is different from turbo & superchargered one. They have different part #.

 

The different part numbers are because the OEM bars are different stiffness. In fact these sway bars will fit other models too, S-Type, X150 XK, X350 XJ, and F-Type.

 

The supplier told me. He can sell just front swaybar & bushes.
You should ask about it through e-bay

 

Hi cby201. Can I check, after a year, has there been any noise from your PU bushes? Did the Aqualube work? I just put on the same anti-roll bar on my X350 XJR, with the Aqualube, as recommended, and I'm just wondering if there will be noise later. It's been great with the new ARB.

 

There is no noise at all...

 

Thanks very much for your reply. That's great news. I'm looking forward to putting in my rear ARB in the future.

 

Just a small suggestion?

I always wrap the sway bar with Teflon tape where it rides in the bushing. Along with using any lube I think will work. Just have had too much squeaking!

Hmm... interesting suggestion.... I might try that for my rears.

 

Also, you shouldn't use just any old lube or grease on the bushes, you should use copper grease, silver grease or rubber grease. Most petroleum based greases will degrade the bushes and they will wear out much faster than normal.

 

Good point. Fortunately the IPD Aqualube is designed PU bushes.

 

Good point and I use Silicone grease. Sometimes called bulb grease and maybe also rubber grease?

klfong...did you ever get the rear bar installed? how is the body roll?

 

Not yet unfortunately. I was waiting for my Quaife differential to come in, then I was going to do everything together. My differential came in two weeks ago, now planning to send the car in next week when I'm out of the country, then hopefully it will be ready when I get back.


Even now though, with only the front anti-roll bar fitted, body roll is very much reduced, so I'm very happy with even only having the front one fitted. So far (about 8 months) no noise using the IPD Aqualube.

 

sway bars are an attractive option ... i am not liking hte idea of dealing with negative camber should I use drop springs to take care of the body roll. Let us know how the final set up feel like. I may order these, even though install is going to be a major cost. I just put 5K into the car so it wont be until end of year for me.

 

I'm quite sure you won't regret it as far as the body roll goes. The ride comfort is unchanged. I only hope that there won't be noise from the polyurethane bushings in the long term, but so far so good with the IPD Aqualube.

 

So the ride comfort hasn't changed with the new bar in conjunction with the coilvers?
