        Yeah, however on the GMs the fuel gauge is silver with black around the edges, so if I ever want to go back to original I need to keep it because this one won't match. If I come across another one I will snag it for you though, There aren't any at the JY now but Ill definitely keep an eye out. There is no way you can fix yours to not stick? I don't know how that stuff works so just wondering. Sorry.

              That looks very different from what I was expecting to see.

                What the hell? What's up with those metal plates? Almost looks as if a front swaybar is installed on the rear.

                    Nope, its a rear bar, the directions stated it, I was waiting for all the puzzled looks on your faces though. It basically mounts a plate to the control arm, then off the plate is the sway bar mounted with U-bolts. This puts the holes through the top of the control arm were the metal is thicker. Im not saying its any better than a PI, but it works really well, and fits nice with no clearance issues. I was going to do an install thread, but I noticed it was very different from a PI bar, so I didn't bother.

                            So it was an aftermarket swaybar then?

                              Im guessing it was and aftermarket replacement and not an original PI. It came with the car so I slapped it on. Since the holes go through the top of the control arm I can always switch to a PI bar if I wanted.
