AP997S

Just ordered an x73 rear sway bar (981-333-703-15) for my 2014 981S. Do I need new or different bushings when I install it?

BobKid

I just reused my existing ones on the new bar. Diameters are the same, so no problems there.

Thanks BobKid - That's what I wanted to hear.

The only difference that I'm aware of is X73 bars are solid while the others are hollow.

I ordered p/n 981-333-703-15. I see there is also a 981-333-703-14 listed under X73 rear bars. Anybody know the difference between these?

BobKid

I thought the 14 was the stock bar

Handy chart. Rear swaybars vary more than one might think:

I have that matrix. To bad part numbers weren't included.

Part numbers are easily enough to look up. The X73 rear bar sway bar bushing was a different part number than the OE one on my Cayman S. So, I ordered both the sway bar and the bushings from the dealer.

Did you order the 981-333-703-15 bar and if so what was the part number of the appropriate bushing. I was led to believe the bushings are the same since the diameter of the X73 bar is the same as the regular bar but it's solid rather than hollow.

Thanks . . .

Anybody know the torque values for the bushing holder (4) and drop link (2) bolts?

Thanks

AP997S

I used 34 & 17 ft lbs for the drop link and bushing holder respectively.

Test Drive Scotland says we have a choice and -14 is medium and -15 is firmer:
