Of course pedders seemed to have never fitted an FG ute with a rear sway bar so mine was trial and error ended up getting a custom cat back made up and its all good now.rear is very predictable in the wet or dry, and even better get zero axle tramp now..

And what did they charge you all up for both sway bars?

I was away at the time so didn't get to actually see the problem.Front 33mm adjustable was $500 and rear 20mm was $280
