Rear Stabilizer or Sway Bar

[Paul Meyers]

I'm no making a judgement about your car here, but...
I have a 190K mile+ 5KCSTQ wagon also. The handling stunk. Luckily, the car
also had noises coming from the rear suspension when going over choppy
pavement. The noises drove me to replace the bushings in the rear control
arms. Now, no thunk. Additionally, the handling of the car changed instantly
from bad oversteer to neutral. Going through mountain canyons at 100 mph the
car handles easily as well as the sedans.
Just my experience.

If there is a car that could use one, it's my 5000CS TQ Wagon.  Alas,
there is nothing that even remotely looks like one attached to my under
carriage.  Once priority items are done, you can be sure that I will
develope a workable rear bar.  Let me know if you hear of an existing
one.  Thanks!
