My name is Kristopher, and this is my first posting, though I've been a member for a while. My question is what is the diameter of the front sway bar on a Pontiac 6000 STE? Is it 22, 24, or 26 mm? I looked up the RPO codes, and the most I came up is Y88, STE Package, and F75, final drive ratio. I asked a-body.net, and an on-line technician, with no results. So, as you can see, I require assistance.

It is easy to measure, even without calipers. A string and some math will work. Wrap a sring around it once and measure that lenght. Then divide that by 3.14 and you will have your diameter. I can tell you one thing. If you looking for better handeling, just get bushing for what you have and find a larger rear bar. It will do much more for you. A larger front bar may actually make you car worse. -

Your welcome. Right now I just have a 92 Ecnoline van and my bike. I had a 92 Z24 for a long time, clcik the garage link, or my webpage. I have kinda moved on to Miatas and all out race cars. Working on an A-mod for autocross stuff now.Comment

I autocrossed in S. CA for a while in my 2001 1.8 liter Audi A4. What a lot of fun. My car was bone stock, but I did not care if I drove home with an award or not, it was very, very fun. I have always liked going around corners quickly, and going straight for a quarter mile does not appeal to me. In my Audi, we had driving schools at Sears Point, Laguna Seca, and Pahrump, NV, where you get an instructor and he/she will show you the line. For $350.00 for the weekend, it was a blast.Comment

You should try lapping days, usally cheaper and more fun if you find the right one.Comment

Thank You Dan for the insights. I have never heard of lapping days before.Comment

Kinda like the school, but without the meddling of instructors.Comment

Like most of us at the Audi school, I needed an instructor so that I would show some improvement each time I was scheduled to go out on the track. I saw the instructor as one who would see to it that I would drive the line at faster, smoother pace.Comment

I finally got the sway bar diameter for my STE. It is 24mm. How I got the information is I went online to watch an old presentation on the 87 models for the sales force, and the presenter said the STE came with a 24mm front sway bar. So, I want to thank you for all you have done and to wish you a fantastic New Year.
PS: so, if you know anyone who needs to now, know the information is here in this post.
