Retired Navy AND now on SS - you may as well annoint yourself as the "Baron" of Old Farts! Not too far behind you, but I'll never grow "old..." So, show the pictures anyhow.
If you read this http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=53320 you'll see how the sway bar is installed. The posts at the end show the problem and solution.
I bought an Addco 264 rear sway bar and took it too my expert alignment suspension shop. They have a drive on bay....work under the car. They just called me and told me the bracket for the bar to the car is not the right angle. I have to agree....not really even close. Binding and misaligned. So it seems I will have a custom bracket made to attach the bushing loaded bolt through the end of the sway bar to the square "U" bolt in the frame. (as well as a reinforcing channel added to the frame. I see that the bushing loaded bolt would be under going a crazy misalignment if it was installed as is. Attached is a pic showing a pic of someones bar installed and he shimmed the bracket with washers.... hmmm.. any thoughts anybody if ya'll been down this road. thanks.
