Advice on swaybars
«

Hi Guys need some advice on swaybars.. My front swaybar has been removed and I would like to replace it with an aftermarket set. I have the mounts on the control arms and I assume that every E body has the mounting holes for the bolts to go in for the body mount. I would like to do front and rear and from what I have seen 1 1/8" up front and a 3/4" at the back seems about right. Can anyone tell me what to look for or what to avoid, bad experiences, even where to get them at a reasonable price. I want something thats not going to be trouble to fit, I don't want to be cutting or smashing anything... The car is a driver not a race car so I dont need top quality stuff, just got to work well. Is the Addco stuff ok?
Cheers from

I am not a fan of the rear sway bars that attach to the diff & link to the frame , the frame mounts never seem to be strong enough , the factory did it the other way with the bar mounted to the body & linked down to the leaf springs

Yes, Firm Feel offers one that even looks like the original.

I bought the rear adco setup and tore it loose from the frame it was attached to. They were a great addition until they ripped my rear frames. I went to an original setup and have been very happy with it. Replaced it with a thicker bar though. If I couldn't find an original I would have gone with firm feel. They had all the peices I wanted for the rear. I have bought serveral parts from them and been very happy.

OK so it looks like firm feel is the way to go and def' for the rear..
Guys I have a problem I can see the mounts on the lower control arms for the front anti swaybar but for the life of me I cant see where the bar attaches to the chassis..? I would have thought I would have been obvious.. I need a picture of where it goes so I can see how it mounts.
