I need some pics of the rear sway bar, to send to a salvage yard. The guy can not find the bar on the Q.

I understand it is mounted on the front side of the axle.

If you have any pics, please post.

I have sent him the detail from INFINITIPARTSUSA.com

Thanks guys!:help

Based on numbers sold [assume that equalizes number wrecked/blown] .............only 1 out of 12 Q in the yard would be an active.

It is the only 20mm [approx 3/4"] tubular bar on the rear........don't let them send you the more common 15.9mm [0.625"------5/8"] diameter bar.

Probably easier to just buy the new bar from Scottsdale.

This is the first Q45 he has seen, really. The pics show the "a" on the rear quarter, and I saw the switch on the console, in the interior pics, so I assumed the car had the swaybar.

He has identified several bars, in the rear, but none that span the entire car. He has found the upper links, and the A-arms, but can't find the stabilizer bar.

I thought I could send him a photograph of one, and that would help him.

Thanks!

Maybe the bar is missing? Look for the attachment holes in the lower a arms fro the bar links. I they are there, then at least the links are missing. The bar traverses the exhaust.

Oh, and it does make a difference, even in low speed low load cornering.
