MikeH Jul 28th, 03, 5:59 PM i didnt have to shim the 69 and I used a 1&1/4 :confused: gUmBaLL68Malibu Jul 28th, 03, 7:56 PM What would you shim? I bolted in a 78 TA's 1 1/4" Sway bar. Are you using the endlinks & the other bushings? The other bushings are the ones that are a circle that the bar fits inside and it has two holes that bolt to your radiator support (i believe?) But if you don't use those the bar will hang down. wildbill Jul 28th, 03, 8:16 PM When i say shim i mean put some type of spacer in between the sway bar bushings and the frame.Not the end links.I don't believe thats how it's done but the center of the sway bar is almost touching the crank pulley.BILL :confused: Bob Johnson Jul 28th, 03, 10:14 PM Motor Mounts?? :confused: Midnight Marauder Jul 29th, 03, 1:37 PM Originally posted by wildbill: When i say shim i mean put some type of spacer in between the sway bar bushings and the frame.Not the end links.I don't believe thats how it's done but the center of the sway bar is almost touching the crank pulley.BILL :confused: Can you post some pics? gUmBaLL68Malibu Jul 29th, 03, 4:18 PM Is the bar bent? Mine has quite a bit of clearance, i have the A/C pulley two that has 3 rungs. wildbill Jul 30th, 03, 9:10 PM Sorry, I can not post any pictures.It is a 70 396 with short water pump so I can run my factory a/c and power steering (remote canister) and alternater on the drivers side.Is there a difference in balencers?
