Sway bar Love, what I have found
Posted by 64avanti On 2017/4/30 15:04:31
It's garage cleaning time and I got to looking at sway bar options for the '55 & '56. Where these bars unique to the V8 cars or were they used down to '51?
The first is a '64 FS Buick bar and it's the perfect width and could be made to work with mounts fabricated for the end links commonly found on more modern cars.
The second bar is from a '73 IH Traveall 2WD and practically looks like a bolt-in if the end link hoops are cut off. The problem with this bar in particular is they are exceedingly difficult to find.
The advantage here is that both are 1/16 larger in Dia. which would provide something like 25-30% more spring rate to resist body lean.
