Thread: New rear sway bar

  1. #1

    New rear sway bar

    I finally finished my rear sway bar install. It's an Addco model 914 3/4" bar. It should work well with the 1" up front.

    Let me know how it handles..

    I've always been told that adding a rear sway bar makes the car handle like a skate board..

    I need to upgrade the front bar and maybe add a rear..

    What did you use for the front?

    The front is a 65 Mustang 1" bar with poly bushings.

    Hmm, Mustang parts.. cool those are usually lesser expensive than falcon parts...

    I wanted to use granada, but I read that they can hit the strut rods..
    plus I haven't found a granada with the bar on it in years..

    There is a woman at work that drives a Granada. I told here that one day she will go to her car and find the front brakes missing. She was confused.

    I bet she was.
    I don't ever see granadas or Mavericks on the road anymore..
    I take that back there is a guy running around town with a really nice white and orange Maverick. It has a nice sounding v-8 in it..

    I would very much like to see a pic of the rear stabilizer bar installed. Not sure if I would have room to add one myself as it is getting cluttered back there with the watts link. Are you using rubber eyelet bushings? The reason I ask is I believe urathane bushings plus a sta-bar to be a less than ideal combo. I heard it said that in a hard turn a leaf spring will behave as though it has a progressive rate as the leaf pack will twist, adding torsional resistance.

    I'll get photos this weekend. I used the rubber bushings it shipped with.

    The bar mounts to the top of the axle and the end point to the rear. End links attach to the bottom of the frame rails.
