C H E A P front sway bar idea for 73-76 A body cars....
I cut the K member on the car just to ensure that the bar would clear. It turned out to clear by plenty....
I cut the ends of the bar again, test fitted and since it fit and cleared, I took my trusty DeWalt grinder and tapered the ends.
I left about 7/16" thickness remain before drilling for the end links.
The drill bits that I had could not do the job so I took the bar to my machinist.
He drilled 7/16" holes as requested. I tapered them with a die grinder and a steel bit. This was so the end link bolt wouldn't ever be in a bind during suspension movement.
