Where did you get the green sway bars. For some reason I thought the front had one on it? Guess I was wrong again. I just put on the rears.

if you want to tighten up the front like it did to the rear, then yes

Correction: that is not the stock "rear sway bar" as there is none. That round bar inside the angle is called the "torque tube stiffener" and only serves to add rigidity to the rear suspension arms. It does nothing to reduce sway, or prevent the inside wheel from lifting in turns. It is simply a part of the original rear suspension design.

All HHR's come standard with a 25mm front sway bar. Adding a rear sway bar is really all that is needed. Our Progress Technology Rear Anti-Sway Bar has been engineered to work in tandem with the existing front sway bar, providing a firm and flat ride in turns and when driving in crosswinds at highway speeds.

Ask anyone who owns one - they're great!

Hope it helps,

The rear sway bar doesn't look to be a Progress Technology Rear Anti-Sway Bar, who makes it...any links?
