Hellwig Sway Bar Install
« on: April 06, 2013 - 12:57:31 PM »
For those that may be interested - I swapped out my stock front sway bar the other day. Had to use their brackets etc. everything except the LCA brackets of course, which are factory mounted. So when I have time I will put the entire stock front kit up for sale and give the Hellwig top LCA brackets with the package. See pictures

Looks like the same bar I got. Just took the old one off today.... looks like a good fit.

I'd be very interested in your driving impression on the change between the 2 bars.  I've actually got the same 1 1/8" Hellwig front bar and also a stock 15/16" OEM front bar to go on my 73 Barracuda which didn't come with any sway bars from the factory. I also have a stock rear sway bar to go on as well, so want to pick the front bar that will work best with 3/4" rear bar. 

Later, Jim

Jim, I will be pleased to post a report as soon as my Passon 5 speed arrives as you see the blank space in the photos and the piece of stress hardened 2x4 holding the back of the engine up. I have a long sweeping corner near my place that I still went around at 90 mph but had lost a lot of steering response and feel on. I know I will not get much feel back but with the new bar I should get some better turn in response. Gearbox should be here within 4 weeks hopefully so when that comes so does the report.
