Hi,

I once owned a 1979 G20 Beauville window van. 350 v8 with 4 barrel carb. Then after 17 years I got a 1994 G20 Sportvan window van. It had TBI, throttle body injection.

G20 has 5 lug wheels, G30 must have 6 lug or 8 lug wheels.

Enjoy your van.

Hello,

Today I received the Sway Away Astro AWD front torsion bars .
Excellent quality kit!
These are 10 to 15 % firmer than OEM bars.
Also, they have 47 splines on the keyed end for fine adjustment of ride height.

I will install soon.

Hi, Some of the spark plugs can be reached with the engine cover, aka dog house removed. The forward plugs can be reached through the inner fender after removing the trim fasteners and removing the plastic flap. Get spark plug socket and extensions and universal joints etc to get in to the tight spo...

Hi Again, If Sway Away can really make the firmer torsion bars, we should also post this good news on the other Astrosafari.com users group. Many people there would benefit from the higher spring rate on their AWD or 4x4 Astros with heavy front bumpers. We should also inform Mike at Jouneys Off-road...
