69 Dart 4 door cruiser

Years ago I bought a stash of parts from a guy that got out of the hobby. In with all the good stuff was this:

Remember these? 3/4” universal fit rear sway bar made by Addco and sold through Direct Connection. This is the lazy mount one that attaches to the axle instead of to the frame. To mock it up I used some zip ties looped together.

These Addco bars were fine but their hardware was crappy. It uses flimsy brackets that can allow the bar to move around even with the brackets tight.

This U shaped bracket is supposed to wrap around the axle housing but these often bend or warp.

The end links attach to these flimsy brackets that get bolted to the frame.

There isn’t much room in there to stuff a bushing, washer and then get a nut on it.
