    Unhappy do front sway help

     



    i have a 1934 chevy sedan with a mustang 2 front end.
    it dosen t have a sway bar. it handles pretty good but would a
    sway bar help? the steering is a little quick . the alignment
    is correct and there is no bump steer but it still has some roll
    on turns . there is leaf springs and a pan hard bar in the rear
    thanks for any suggestions .

    I try to always use a front sway bar. It makes a world of differance in handeling. Before I put one on my 71 p/u when you let off the gas it would roll and rock. Sway bar fixed it.

    i loosened up my sway bar to take my bucket to the drags and shure noticed a difference. i have a nova clip on the front the car shure doesnt handle as good without it , its jumps aroung a lot more and also leans a lot more on turns. i would think any kind of sway bar would help tour car handle better.

    that sucks, i did not think it made that much of a difference, everything you guys said is how my car handles, i tried to put one on but it wont work cause someone replaced the calipers with bigger ones so now it wont let you turn with a swaybar on

    ......I know that on my '94 Firebird I put on a much bigger solid bar & it sticks to the road like it's on rail road tracks! HUGE difference... On the other hand when I had an '84 Camaro I took the sway bar off so it'd launch better & it swayed all over the place going around corners..... Bill
