Sway Bar and LCA Question
I think you need a lesson in reading correctly You reworded everything I said
Ok, let's go back line by line and cover all the things you DIDN'T say, because that's BS..
the 1973 up sway bar passes through the k member were as the 72 back sway bar did not so unless your k member has been changed you may have to go with an aftermarket sway bar for your application. if you car has disc brakes with front mounted calipers the 72 back type sway bar interferes with the calipers hence the reason most go with the 73 up sway bar set up.
So here you mention the '73+ bar not fitting with a '72- K member, and you "
MAY" have to go with an aftermarket sway bar. No mention of the location of the sway bar tabs being different, or incompatible with the factory bars. And when you mention "
going with the 73+ sway bar set up" you don't mention going with an aftermarket 67-72 bar (not 73+) or changing the K member for the factory bar.
And no mention AT ALL of the sway bar tab locations, or which bars can be used with those locations.
the best bet if relocating the tabs is remove
the old tabs and buy the 72 back sway tabs
and weld them on the two styles of tabs are
different in how they attach to the lower arm
Ahh, NOW you mention that the tabs are "
different". You don't say
how they're different. Or which tab locations will work with what sway bars, factory or aftermarket. And then you still suggest cutting off the '73+ tabs, which is completely unnecessary if you actually know anything about the aftermarket sway bars available.
looks like I covered the aftermarket option in post #3:thumbsup:disagree if you want but if he cuts the 73+ tabs off 72 back tabs will have to be used to use the 72 back factory bar
And here you tell him again to cut the 73+ tabs off and use the '72 back factory bar. Again, completely unnecessary.
You
NEVER mention-
-That the Hellwig #55917 bar, which is a '67-72 aftermarket bar, will bolt right up to his car just the way it sits right now with the '73+ sway bar tabs and the '67-72 K frame.
-That the '67-72 Hotchkis sway bar will do exactly the same thing.
-That cutting the 73+ tabs off is stupid, because he can use the Hellwig or Hotchkis bar without cutting anything.
So no bud, I didn't just reword what you said. I told the OP exactly what sway bars he could use if he didn't want to cut or modify his car at all from it's current set up, which you did not.
