I just won a 1 1/8" sway bar from an '80 Z28 off of Ebay. I gave $35 to my door, which I figure is higher than if I could find one locally at the boneyard, however I've been unable to find one now that I needed it.

Anyway, I already have the correct size PST polygraphite sway bar bushings. My question is: which end links do I need to use? The old ones from my '70 or one from a Camaro. I don't believe that the Ebay bar will have any end links with it (as none were pictured), but I have a set of end links from a '77 Camaro front end that I pulled for a friend a while back.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm interested to see what a PST polygraphite Super Front End kit and a fatter front bar will do for the car. Thanks!

Justin,
I have the same sway bar as you.Just Suspension is nearby,told him what bar I had.He just looked up Chevelle links.They fit fine,no problems.

You'll need endlinks for a 1970 Chevelle ... the Camaro endlinks will not work, sorry.

Cool, I'll just use my old endlinks. Thanks!

BTW, did you all know that end link height determines sta-bar effectivness, just something to think about. You could run the stock 7/8" bar and very short links with about the same effect as the 1.25" bar and the 6" links the Chevelle comes with.

Dennis68,
I think I have to disagree with you on the short links. The use short of links would give you more travel in one direction and less in the other.

Uuummmm, no. Sta-bar effectiveness is maximized by having the ends of the bar level with the ground. Since I highly doubt anybody is checking/tuning their current bars I was suggesting that a properly tuned smaller bar would result in better handling than an oversized ill-fitting bar.

On another note, sta-bar are not designed to become the component that determines roll stiffness, the springs should do that. The shocks and sta-bar compliment the already properly set up suspension system. I know I have stated this before, maybe I should put in my sig line. The sta-bar is to tune with.

Use the ones that get it as close to level as possible,just make sure of your clearence through full travel. You will definately notice a difference.Ralph
