Hellwig Sway Bar = WOW! What a difference!!

Firm feel 1.12" bars, 300 lb/in wheel rate. I don't remember what I calculated for the rating on the Hellwig bars, it was just a generic number based on the diameter. I use the hollow Hellwig a-body bar (55906) and the solid rear 7/8" E body bar. I wasn't going to go with custom bars so I wasn't too worried about calculating the exact numbers for the bars. I run 120 lb/in AFCO rear leafs with those bars.
And that car would have been running 1.24" torsion bars at minimum, and maybe would have had the anchors swapped out for c-body pieces to run an even larger diameter depending on the set up.

All MoPar stock cars ran the "C" body t-bar anchor since the early 60s. One good way to tell if you find one in the weeds someplace, rusting away! The bars are 37" in length. Off hand, I remember about 20 different sizes up to 1.60. and rated at 1,250#/inch. Same with rear leafs: rates up to 1,400 #/inch. The faster the track and G forces, the heavier the suspension required to keep the car from bottoming.
