First off modz if this is in the wrong area, move it? Plz

Ok so back in 1999 I had a straight V6 Jetta the torqe was awesome however the factory sway bars were crapola.

So nuespeed sold a sway bar that attached to what I am seeing in the Tahoe engine bay but unsure if these are sway bars or what there used for.

I doubt they are sway bars...but hey I could be wrong.

What are these for and what do they do ?

They are just support brackets for the fenders, sway bars are under the vehicle

Yes, those are definitely the sway bars. Don't believe what these other fella's are saying. Also if you haven't already, Check your blinker fluid whenever you get a chance.

My mustangs have similar braces but are triangle shaped and go from the firewall to each right/left strut tower and across the front between strut towers.

They are called strut tower braces and help reduce flex from a unibody car.

OK instead of creating another thread can somebody tell me what this covers for it looks like it’s got baffling in it to illuminate some sound from the engine maybe?
