Yeah must be sway bar, surely. Otherwise I dont want to know what you hit.

    ok
    i should probably give you guys a bit background info
    so this doesn't turn into a "ha ha what a n00b! and now he's denying it" thread

    the cross member was previously replaced, but i noticed with the new cross member

    it had kind like grooves on the side like this one
    http://completefto.com.au/Modules/Parts ... sp?bid=220

    the one i had on there before had no grooves along the bottom edges and it was slightly wider between the two mounts

    Image

    so that why i was asking if there's a difference between the GPvR and the GPX cos i don't really want to have to replace it again
