also depends on how old the bar is, I have an addco bar that is 1.25 and clamps to the strut rods instead of the shock mount. Anyone want it?
Here's a comparison of the addco bar and a stock 3/4" front bar

Anyone know where to find either a factory or aftermarket front sway bar kit for my 64 Valiant? Will the later sway bars work? Thanks |

www.firmfeel.com I personally dont like how the addco bars mount to the strut bars. firmfeel bars are a bit pricey but totally worth it in my opinion |

I've definetly seen more then one aftermarket swaybar for early A bodies that tied to the strut bars and not the lower shock mount. I was pretty sure they were the addco bars. I could be wrong and they are different brand but Im positive I've seen it done like that |

Addco did that for my Mazda RX2.I think it depends on the car. |

Or part #? Also, will the bar from a 69 fit? |

for A bodies, 62-66 have the same width suspension, and 67-72 are 2" wider. So for ease of fitment, you want to stay in those ranges. I think Ed had a good writeup on an install of front and rear addco bars on his 64 Valiant someplace. I took some pictures of different bars over time on fitment and such and put them together on my website MJ [/url] |
