Does anyone here have the Hotchkis rear sway bar bolted up to the factory boxed lower arms on a 1970 chevelle? I had the lower arms boxed using inserts (which didnt really fit) and I want to make sure before I re-install the arms that the bolt holes will line up with the Hotchkis sway bar I am going to order. The arms were boxed/drilled using the directions in the Tech center, so the holes are 6 inches apart on center - does this hold true for the holes in the Hotchkis sway bar? Thanks in advance!

I know I installed a hotchkis on global west arms. I also know that global west arms are supposed to have exact same mounting dimension/spacing. This is also why a stock sway bar will work with them. I am near positive this will bolt up for you. It might require spacers though, that just depends on the variances of your car.

Thanks for the input, thats kinda the direction I was thinking, I guess the true test will be once its all bolted up.
