69SSpost Apr 27th, 04, 10:29 PM I found a 79 or 80 z28 in a bone yard with the front sway bar still in it. smile.gif I have been told by some people that it will not work in my 67 and I have heard people here say it will work?So my question is what do I have to do to put the bar in my car....Thanks is advance! ,John MrAbody Apr 28th, 04, 1:11 PM From everything I have read it the front swaybar from the 2nd gen fbody will work. Try to get the swaybar thats 1.25 inches as that is the fattest they came with. If its not I believe you can still order the 1.25 from GM for like $70. 72SSAbody Apr 28th, 04, 1:35 PM Yes, they will work (http://www.geocities.com/diels12000/SwayBar.html) Joe elcamino72 Apr 28th, 04, 5:08 PM MrABody ... do you hav a part number on that 1.25" bar??? I thought they were discontinued. 72SSAbody Apr 29th, 04, 1:38 PM Originally posted by elcamino72: MrABody ... do you hav a part number on that 1.25" bar??? I thought they were discontinued. The number I had was discontinued about 5-6 years ago. Joe MrAbody May 1st, 04, 10:23 PM My Bad, I thought I had read someone posted the price here with link a short while ago, I guess not GM but some other vendor. I couldn't find it in the archives. The GM part number for the 1.25 is 356534 . I Might have gotten it confused with the rear for A-bodies which is 394926 . These guys make a inexpensive repop 1.25 sway bar (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7900761014&category=10076) MAXX2 May 2nd, 04, 11:13 AM All sway bars are "Not Created Equal". It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Just a daily driver, sometimes "Pedal To The Metal"? "Canyon Carver"? Maybe someone can chime in on some basic tech on this subject? graemlins/thumbsup.gif 72SSAbody May 3rd, 04, 11:01 AM Originally posted by LVMAXX: All sway bars are "Not Created Equal".

Now if you want to get into material specs and how they effect torsional loads then I can, but be prepared for a novel as you don't quite learn the "whole story" even in engineering school until your last few semesters of school. Nothing like S-N curves to drain your enthusiasm for the subject :( Joe 69SSpost May 3rd, 04, 12:57 PM Thanks guys graemlins/thumbsup.gif | ||
