Thread: Why is it? tha-------32 fords

Tweet

Sometimes people expect too much of a forum. I see people post questions on here, and other forums, all the time and if no one has an answer right away they get the impression they are being ignored, when it could be simply that no one has an answer to give. Or, in your case, no one has a sway bar to sell.

I'm lucky enough to be on several excellent, friendly forums, and CHR ranks right up at the top of that list. If someone has some help they can give they are only too eager to jump in and offer it. You also have to realize that we all do this in our spare time and have lives outside the internet, so your thread might not even be seen by someone who can help for days or weeks.

Just have patience. (Or buy a new sway bar, how much can they cost? )

I always find the best way to get something you want is going and buy the part,then a few days later everyone has one for sale.

Or you go ahead and buy it, then find a duplicate in your stash !

Bob, I'd start checking out the salvage yards. Bet you could find something that would work for ya under the front or back of a Camry or Accord.

Salvage yards here, are mostly for getting rid of steel[crushing cars] small stuff yards aren't to happy to waste their time i guess. thanks for the reply though...least you tried to help! Has to be a caprice wagon or impala.early 90s to work on a 50 merc.

Look for "U-Pull-It", "Pull & Save", "Pick-A-Part", ""Pick-and-Pull" or something similar. The true "salvage yards" are not into selling parts anymore. I think you will find some self service yards in Michigan if you really look - maybe not in your back yard, but they are there. What about the Speedway universal?

BSA Bob, when I bought my first sway bar I got it from Deuce Factory as a kit. I found that for my application it was not heavy enough. I am trying a torsion bar from Shroeder Racing this time. I chose a base diameter bar that had lots of spring rates, so I can change the bar out to get the handling I want. I bought the arms from Speedway Motors and the hiems from Summit. I will be fabricating the rearend housing tabs to mount it. As for the bar mounts themselves, I am using the Deuce Factory mounts, I just machined up new bushings to allow the larger bar. Hope this helps.

So, it works that way in your life too, huh?
