rear sway bar question
« on: September 10, 2010 - 12:54:47 PM »
I am adding an original factory rear sway bar to my 70 Cuda. It already has a front bar. I have all the original components except the sway bar links. Are the links used for the rear bar the same as for the front? Thanks.

I believe that they are the same.  I ran into the same issue when I added a rear sway bar.  I just went to the local auto parts store and bought the urethene bushings that were mounted on the aftermarket link shaft and used them.

  Rear are different but if you have modified the ride height you may need different length

I am presuming that most of you guys are in favour of the Energy Suspension products??    I just ordered the front end link kits from them with the polyurethance bushings.   Anybody notice a big difference using these over the stock setup?

I got that stuff at Neil's recommendation and it works great with noise reduction.
