Thats not my problem, it sounds like someone without an engineering degree went at it with the car ;)

Oh so close...everything is all hooked up and the suspension is back in, but the castle nut on one of the tie rods wont thread back on. I should be driving it tomorrow though.

Doing some homework this morning on high-misalignment bushings for rod ends (since I haven't tested the full travel of my heim endlinks but it looks like it will bind) I checked Napa for shits n gigs and see they do offer an endlink for 90-91 FE7: NCP2652203 as well as the longer 92-93: NCP2652205. So that is also an option for anyone looking to run an FE7 bar, apparently it was myth that you couldn't get them. And it's a lot cheaper than the adjustable heims too! haha

I thought I posted that info a long time ago about Napa having them. Might have even been on bstuff when someone else was asking.

Napa also lists shift cables... So I don't know what that means but everyone says they can't get any...

There's so many myths about these cars regarding parts availability.

And as I said before, almost all newer cars use direct acting sway bars. Im willing to bet there are links from other cars that will work.

You're funny Jon. Ya dick. They're ok so far.

Fired it up tonight...but I have to pull the LIM to heater core steel line and fill one little pin hole from welding the tubes together. I finally did it "the right way" this time while it was out & it leaks...but the rubber hose was leak-free for 5 years! hahaha

Its the same rear sway bar that I have at least I would think so... it will work fine. It's the 95+ you need to get creative.

;) You love me Eric... thats for all the times you call my car a barbie car. :burn:

My Addco was PN 446, not 939, and that Napa pic is wrong (unless it's just a generic).

Ok so there is one that works for a 95.But i could tweak it for mine too work??And eric you're saying there is a different part number you have for one that would work??Or just a different part number for the same bar?

The bar in that picture is not a Beretta bar. At least it is not the one I have on my car. The Addco 446 is listed for 87-96 Beretta, but takes a little tweaking for a 95-96. It is a direct swap for 87-94.

Woody beat me, but here is what I was gonna say...


He's saying the PN listing is wrong... My bar is also a 446. There is ONLY one rear Addco bar for the beretta... It just so happens that the older cars it bolts RIGHT on... 95+ you need to add some stuff to the brackets to make it work and clear the spring cups thats all.

I did not realize their part number miss match, so that may be the wrong bar all together.

Robert, if you want I have a full Z51 setup I'll sell you. It will bolt right on your setup. I hope I can still find the bar though. I knew it was at my parents somewhere but he's been "cleaning"
