Sway-A-Way Torsion Bars
I have seen a few threads on the Sway-A-Way torsion bars. I haven't read much about people installing them or any reviews.
I thought they looks pretty nice and wanted to try them out. So I ordered a set of 1.14" bars.
MOPAR “A” Body Torsion Bar Set, 1961-1976 – Sway-A-Way | Racing Technology
Was working on installing these on my 1974 Swinger over the weekend. Unfortunately am unsuccessful so far. These bars appear to be clocked incorrectly as far as I can tell. I was also installing some QA1 LCAs. Just to make sure these were not the issue I tried installing with my old LCAs as well, no luck.
Looks like the PST 1.03" bars I am replacing are clocked at 20°. For the Left (Driver) side the LCA end is clocked 20° CCW compared to the crossmember end. The right (Passenger) side is the mirror of this.
For comparison the SAW 1.14" bars are clocked at 15° but in the opposite direction (or you could say they are clocked at 45° in the same direction I guess).
Since I could not get them installed I set them up on the bench to show what I am seeing.
