Removing GQ Rear Sway / Stabalizer Bars Legalities in NSW
Hi guys and girls,
4b needs to get a pink slip on Monday for rego, am concerned that it won't past due to the rear sway / stabilizer bar not being in there.
Took it out years ago when I done my lift and never bothered putting it back in, have gotten away with rego since then but last year I changed mechanics and he new something wasn't right but passed it anyway. I spoke to him a few weeks after he passed it and he asked if I had the rear stabilizer bar in, told him no and he told me to get it back in before this inspection.
I had every intention of bolting it back in today ( yes leave everything 2 the last minute ) but for the life of me can't find it and really don't know if I still have it or gave it away to someone else.
After reading VSB14 I can't find anywhere where it states that the stabilizer bars are required by law, is it because they where fitted from factory its illegal to remove???
Cheers
Toddie

That's what I was thinking. I would loan you mine but I am a bit far away. They are only 4 bolts and 2 nuts to remove. Surely someone on here can loan you one.

And yes Scotty I now it is pretty much common sense, hence why I asked the question *LMAO*
Will go on Monday and see if he passes it or not, if not I will borrow one form my dad
My old man told me a story yesterday from many years ago about a truck he had in the pits for inspection, it failed because they said it had to much flex in some joint thingo bob, he argued with them that's how they are from the manufacture brand new. Of course they said it had to be replaced, so he went back to his workshop took the part off and cleaned it up spray painted it black chucked it back in and went back over the pits again.
Guess what........................It passed................
Now that's what you call common sense *L*
Cheers all for the input :)
I meant common sense from you mate - cant comment on lack of common sense from an assessor!! lmao
That said, painting items black is still pretty common practice even now ...
