Sway-A-Way for Porsche

Sway-A-Way suspension components for Porsche models from Design911, focusing on torsion bars and related suspension hardware for classic torsion-bar chassis.

A Quick Look at Sway-A-Way

Sway-A-Way is typically chosen for Porsche torsion bars and suspension components on older chassis where owners want to tune spring rates properly. Real-world reasons include reducing body roll, improving balance front to rear, and setting the car up for fast-road or track use while keeping a torsion-bar architecture. Information on this page is based on details supplied by the manufacturer or distributor, plus any OE-style references provided with the parts.

Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Sway-A-Way is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and any OE references to confirm suitability. Always check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, front or rear position, bar diameter, and spline pattern, and consider how the chosen spring rate will work with your dampers and intended use.

• Typical reasons to choose these parts include restoring correct ride height, reducing body roll, and improving balance for fast-road or track-focused driving while retaining a torsion-bar suspension layout.
• Common symptoms that push owners towards replacement or upgrades include uneven ride height, poor balance, harshness, and difficulty achieving alignment targets if ride height and corner weights are not set correctly; noises can come from worn bushes, incorrect indexing, or binding in old hardware.
• When planning changes, choose spring rates with your car’s weight, tyre choice, and damper setup in mind, and allow time for proper ride height, corner-weighting, and alignment.
• Practical setup tips include refreshing bushes and dampers at the same time, marking spline positions before removal, and budgeting for professional corner-weighting after major torsion-bar changes.

Browse by Category

If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded and to choose the most appropriate Sway-A-Way parts.

Suspension & Axle — Suspension and axle parts in this category are about restoring handling, ride comfort, braking stability, and safety; you may choose Sway-A-Way where you want a particular suspension behaviour rather than a purely standard feel.

• Plan for a full geometry check after major suspension work, as alignment is often required once components have been replaced or upgraded.

Torsion Bar — Torsion bar components here focus on restoring correct ride height and handling balance or changing spring rate for different driving goals; Sway-A-Way options allow you to tailor stiffness for road, fast-road, or track-biased setups when correctly matched to dampers and alignment.

• Mark spline positions before removal and expect to carry out ride-height setting and corner balancing after fitment, as ride height changes will influence alignment.

Suspension Upgrades — Suspension upgrade parts in this category are selected to improve body control, cornering balance, and steering response; Sway-A-Way components can form part of a package aimed at more controlled body movement or a firmer, more focused setup, provided the overall system is matched and properly set up.

• Start with a clear goal for the car (comfort, fast-road, or track) and plan for geometry checks and fine-tuning, as poorly matched upgrades can introduce harshness or instability.

Torsion Bars — This category focuses specifically on torsion bars used as the main spring element; Sway-A-Way bars are chosen to replace tired or corroded originals or to alter spring rate so that ride height, balance, and body control better match your intended use.

• Be prepared for seized hardware on older cars, and allow time for careful setup, including corner balancing, because changes to torsion bars will affect both ride height and alignment geometry.
