DSE Front Sway Bar Kit (031424DS) - 1982-2003 S10 / S15 / Sonoma 2WD
Take the loose, body-roll-heavy feel out of your compact GM truck with the Detroit Speed Front Sway Bar Kit, part number 031424DS. Engineered for 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, GMC S15, and GMC Sonoma 2WD applications, this performance front anti-roll bar uses a substantial 1-7/16-inch diameter, 0.188-inch wall tubular design to reduce body roll, improve cornering response, and give the truck a more confident, controlled feel. Detroit Speed developed the bar as part of its S10 suspension lineup, allowing it to work with factory components or as part of a more comprehensive Detroit Speed suspension package.
The 031424DS is engineered around the packaging demands of lowered and performance-oriented S10 builds. Adapter plates move the sway bar bushing mounting points inboard to help maintain steering angle on lowered trucks, while the bar geometry maximizes front wheel and tire clearance at full steering lock. Low-friction ball-style end links help eliminate suspension bind and minimize deflection, and greaseable polyurethane bushings provide firm sway bar support. Finished in gloss black powder coat and supplied with mounting hardware and split lock collars, this 100% bolt-on system delivers a well-engineered combination of handling, clearance, strength, and straightforward installation.
