I just looked at the sway bar I took off of the front of my car ('97C2S) to install RS sways. The part number has me confused-993 343 701 00 . I measured it to be 21mm in diameter (albeit with a cheapy caliper). the sway bar bushing part number is 964 343 792 22 ; which the PET shows to be for the 22mm bar of the M030 suspension. the rear sway bar measured 17mm. yes, the car plowed! If the '701' was a '707' in the part number, it would make more sense. here is a picture of the part number

any ideas what this is? max

 

North American Carrera S:

Standard: 20 mm F / 17 mm R
M030: 22 mm F / 18 mm R

My guess is you have the standard bars unless your car was factory fitted with the M030 option.

 

thanks for looking Viken. the PET shows a 21mm bar with a 707 in the part number, (instead of the 701 visible on my bar) and, i measure it to be 21mm, although i wish my real vernier caliper wasn't 1800 miles away. I am not the original owner of the car, so it may have been changed at some point by a PO. What model was the 21mm front bar used on?? Not a big deal, just a little curious; I'm having too much fun enjoying the new suspension and RS bars to worry very much about this! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> later, max

After that, they would have installed 20 mm front bars. However, Porsche is known to install stabilizer bars which were not necessarily dedicated to a particular model. The Carrera S should have had either 20 mm (M032) or 22 mm (M030) installed.
