ADDCO VS. PST Rear Sway Bar

Nobody has commented on how a 7/8" bar is probably way too much for the rear?
What size is the front bar?
The rear bar should really be used as a tuning aid. When the rear bar is too big, the car will want to spin out. That tendency gets worse the faster you drive. I had an axle mounted 7/8" ADDCO bar on Ginger and it was exactly like that. I had a 1 1/4" front bar, 1.0 torsion bars, MP XHD leafs and at that time, KYB shocks.
I mixed it up a bit to get it to perform in a neutral manner. Bigger 1.15 torsion bars, Bilstein shocks and a switch to a 3/4" frame mounted rear bar.
Much better.

Good catch!

I just thought it was the same size at the old ones (3/4”)

The mounting point on the frame rail needs reinforcement. Sandwich a plate between the mounting bracket and frame rail (like a big rectangular washer) weld it on if you can. Without, over time with hard use the frame rail will get pushed in.

Anyone know where the square u bolts that go through the frame can be purchased? The threads on mine are stripped out.
