Asking price seems high to me...but then I default to what a new car costs these days. You could blow that much money on a new Hyundai pretty easily. Have you always liked a new Hyundai?

Re: 1948 22nd Series : Damper to rear sway bar

You can try it, and see how it feels. I would advise against it, though. As mentioned, my bushings had hardened to the point that the bar was nearly useless- I could easily spin the rod with my fingertips. The car was very unstable, even at 30-35 mph. A decent bump in the road would set the rear end of the car wagging. I've previously posted how drastic the improvement was when I fixed the O/D on my car. Replacing those bushings was a similar experience. I hadn't placed too much importance on either item since most of my driving in the car is at low speeds, but the enjoyment and driveability of the car increased significantly, EVEN AT low speeds.

Meaarch,

Attached are a few pictures I have available handy on my phone. I took these as a reference for myself, as the bushings were shot and I wanted to find replacements. I ended up making replacement bushings from round rubber stock ordered from McMasters. I can post more pictures and/or dimensions in the coming days.

I vaguely remember reading something along the lines that there is a difference in the leaf spring width that is associated with the different shock/bar setup. I'll try to dig that up as well.

Troy,

If you don't buy it, and if I ever get the pleasure of meeting you in person, I promise I will smack you in the face.
