NOTE: Upgrading the anti-sway bars on these models is a skill level 3 procedure. We generally recommend professional installation as it is necessary to lower the engine sub-frame and a vehicle lift makes the job easier than doing it on jack stands. Although the experienced do it yourselfer can accomplish the install, you should consult the installation instructions before attempting this job to be certain it is within your mechanical abilities.

Customer Reviews on ipd Sway Bars

This is the second set of anti-sway bars I have purchased from ipd. The first set transformed my 240 wagon bullock cart-like handling in to an enjoyable driver. This second set has similarly turned up the fun factor on my 850 Turbo wagon. Each set came with comprehensive installation instructions. When you fi nd yourself in a tight spot, you can always find a cheerful and knowledable ipd representative on the other end of the telephone to bring you home. Great company, great folks! You get what you pay for! Reviewed by John from Jacksonville, FL

Wow! The best suspension upgrade for our Volvo’s. Made the car feel totally different and I mean that in a good way. Cornering better, less body roll. Great product! Reviewed by Rob from PA

Track Spec End Links from QBM

Stock Volvo sway bar end links have a number of flaws which result in poor performance and longevity. QBM performance end links are constructed from superior materials when compared to stock end links, are exponentially stronger (1900% stronger) than the stock links, and completely eliminated flex even on the largest of aftermarket sway bars. Laboratory stress tested and race proven, the X-Treme Performance End Links™ are the best performing end links on the market. When matched to ipd sway bars you’ll have the ideal setup for race or track driving.

PLEASE NOTE: QBM end links are constructed of top quality off-road/race grade components and as such, they require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure top performance and quiet trouble free operation. Please see our website for more info to make sure that these are the right upgrade for you.
