anyone use this front sway bar on their 67-72 abody?
I'm a little late to this party but I'll throw my two cents in.
Yes, I have that monster Hotchkiss sway bar on my '68 Dart, and I love it. Don't really care what it looks like, I works great and the car is a blast to drive. I also have the PST 1.03 T-bars, and together its the best thing I've done to my car. Car feels super.
Anyway, yeah, it does hang down a little lower that the original, mostly I think because of the diameter of this bar, and the mounts have to be larger (lower), to hold this bar. It is a little lower that the bottom of the K-frame, so the only problem I've noticed is now my floor jack cant be rolled under the K-frame because it hits the sway bar. I could raise my front end up a bit, but for now I drive the front wheels up onto a couple of 2"x8"s, before I try to roll my jack under the K. A small price to pay for such a great sway bar. An no it wont work with your factory '70 sway bar tabs.
I believe it would work with '73 up arms if you had those. I used the weld-on tabs that came with the bar.
I love it, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
