The New T3 Technique anti-roll bar - FINALLY!

[WestyBob]

The Columbia Gorge is our own personal wind tunnel here. Great for testing new stability items like T3's bars which I haven't done yet.

Tip : it's been said before but pumping all four tires up to manufacturer recommended max pressure, stiffening the sidewalls, will help in cross-winds. Tires with strong sidewall construction like Nokians helps too. BFG's (I have two sets) not that good in cross-winds.

My new anti roll bar just came in today, looking forward to putting the suspension back together.

Installed mine along with the HD drop links this past Saturday within 1 hour.

Amazing product T3 Technique! Very well thought out!

Install was easy and well documented. Van handles incredibly well.

I'm having a bit of an issue fitting the bar to frame bracket. This is on my 84 westy. Do I have to push the bar back so the bushing site on the flat part of the frame? The powerflex bushing I had originally with the OE bar has a bevel to it that matched the frame. I need to push back quite hard on the bar to get this bushing to sit on the flat part of the frame. Anyone experience this? Notice the gap between the bushing and the bar too. I tried shoving the bar over to make gap go away because the bushing seems to be sitting near the radius of the bar but it does not make much difference because it is quite hard to move things around. Thanks

Those bushings are for mounting the new swaybar on a syncro.

for reference look at page 2 of this thread 14 posts down the page the image shows the correct bevelled bushing for 2WD

Maybe just field modify the bushing with a sharp utility knife. Waiting to see what T3 recommends.

Has anyone made any progress on detaching hardware for the swaybar? Manual or automatic?

January 10th photo on our Instagram @syncrostyle I don't have the pic to upload on here. Basically bits I had laying around the shop. It works great, just make sure to lock the bar down when detached or the sway bar will puncture the sidewall

I keep hoping the latest post is going to announce availability of the rear anti-sway bar.

Oh well, patience, they say, is a virtue.

Bought a few things from Chris today and was looking for the new rear anti-roll bar on the website. Alas, no joy. Maybe Chris has an update?

Earlier today, I installed the T3 anti-roll bar and heavy duty endlinks. Holy smokes! What a positive, night and day difference. My van feels so much more sure-footed and spirited to drive. Such a huge improvement!

Huge compliments to Christopher for his well-designed custom products, kind and courteous support, and dedicated enthusiasm to making our Vanagons better. Two thumbs way up!

Some time ago, mdbww asked for some photos of the T3 endlinks installed with the T3 bar. Here was my experience on my 1984 2WD Westy…

My box of goodies looked just like the one that jimf909 received; see his post for photos of the T3 anti-roll bar and heavy duty endlinks.

I started by removing my OE anti-roll bar. I had a broken OE endlink on the passenger side that resulted in a badly swaying ride and periodic pings and clangs when the broken endlink would hit the lower control arm.

The OE anti-roll bar, OE endlinks, and OE bushings were a snap to remove. I was, however, left with a broken piece of one OE endlink rusted into the lower control arm.

Lots of PB Blaster and brute force with Vise-Grips and a hammer freed the broken piece.

Here’s a comparison of the T3 Technique (top) and the OE (bottom) anti-roll bars:

Here’s a photo of the T3 Technique anti-roll bar and heavy duty endlinks after installation. (Yes, I know that my steering rack boots need a little love. )

Here’s what a T3 heavy duty endlink looks like from below the lower control arm:

And one more photo from above the lower control arm:

Ordering mine with a new set of the Power-flex power steering bushings today. Can't wait to install them! Then think ahead to next Christmas for the hopefully-released rear bar.

I just installed mine with new Powerflex steering rack polyurethane bushings. Holy cow, what a difference. Well done T3 techniques!

Sorry for the poor quality pics.....dropped my phone in the toilet yesterday.
