That is a very interesting article, though I am not sure if I should upgrade the front sway bar, or put one on the back...
Thoughts and experiences? |

Stock sway bars on Kombi is best-make sure mountings are OK- more important to have correct tyres and pressures and GOOD shock absorbers ------------------------------------- |

With family bus I would even keep tyres to 185/195 range. If you have opportunity try and swap wheels with someone with 205+ and try over same route with varied surfaces-bitumen, gravel, sand etc, wet and dry. If you have a lot of wet/damp road driving 185 is tops. ----------------------------------------------- |
