Thread: 39 Ford (Coast to Coast) Rebuild

Alright, I'm stumped. I just went back to the front suspension after spending some time on the engine and I can't figure out how the sway bar links are supposed to work on the front. As you can see in the picture, the front link goes through a sleeve in the control arm. I could just butt the bushings up against the sleeve, but I bet they will tear over time. I quickly installed the link just to show what I'm talking about. The only thing I can think is I'm supposed to use a different type of link, but this is what it shows to use.

Thanks, Justin

Justin,
Can you show us a picture of the sway bar link alone, with all of the bushings, washers & nuts that you believe to be right, and a picture of the sway bar & A-arm where it fits?
