Along with the bar I bought some splined aluminum arms made for them, but they were just too bulky to fit on the rear. I shortened them and cut some bolt-on arms out of steel. I still have a small interference issue, but that will be solved when the body comes off. There's just no room to work with the body on. The arms have several adjusting holes in them. By moving the links, the arm can be shortened or lengthened. This changes the effective rate of the sway bar. When the rearend comes out next time, I'll add some adjusting plates with similar holes to the axle tubes for the lower end of the links to attach to.
This shot is actually of the front bar, but it is essentially the same as the rear, just longer. I forgot to take a picture of the rear bar before bolting it in.
You can see how thick the aluminum arms are. They just wouldn’t clear the frame and passenger side exhaust at the same time. The thinner steel arms will, but I will still need to put a small notch in the frame, since I’m not about to reroute the exhaust after all the work that went into it.
That's going to be nice, like the color. .
