That's strange. Both my 1986 1.6 NA Jetta diesel and my 1992 Jetta GL 1.6 TD had the torque tube in the axle. Maybe it only came to Canada. Can any other Canadians comment?

I am running in the front of my mk2 a mk3 gti front bar 21mm IIRC and a shine rear bar. I would say go with the shine first and see how you like it then add the front bar later since it is so much work.... I am running this on a mk3 lower end too so I have wider track width.
'86 Westy Golf here, no sways front or rear. And it sucks.I think we are getting torque tube and rear sway confused. AFAIK they are the same. You can either have a rear beam or rear beam with swaybar.I don't recall the actual sizes of the bars, but I know there were two different ones for A2 chassis, the standard GTI rear bar and the 16v GTI and GLI bar were bigger. I think the fronts were both the same.Brendan
Turns out I actually have 4, funny how that happens.2 1989 TD Germany built Jettas - no torque tube1 1991 TD Germany built Jetta - no torque tube1 1991 NA Mexican built Golf - torque tube
Can you tell if the sway bar/tube actually makes a difference? Does the car with it ride flatter than the car without? (I'm assuming that both cars have the front bar.)
