Post by cthulhu »

Newbie question, sorry..

Does anyone make stiffer swaybars for the 406? I'm looking for something in maybe a 20mm or 22mm..

I don't know if any ones make stiff ones. but there are different diameter ones fitted to the 406 depending on age, engine etc. Should be able to get a fatter standard roll bar for your from the stealers.

Have a look the pug service box to see what ones are available. (http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/)

26mm? That's nuts. Front and back?

I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for the replies.

So that is why the handling feels so good :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the handling of the 406 saloon.. it poos all over the Renault Laguna I had before, especially since I fitted a strut brace over the weekend. eBay is my friend. :lol: But I still think there's some room to improve.

Reading the service box report for my V6 estate the roll bars are Front 24 & Rear 22.5mm
