69 Dart 4 door cruiser
The U bolt allows a bolt in deal which would be fine if it all went together nicely. It doesn’t so I modified the U brackets…
After bending the ends in a few degrees, I cut them down.
Trial fit…
This now allows the bar to be retained by simpler 3/8” 1 inch bolts.
The end links attach brackets were a simple fix…..
I just used some scrap steel I had here.
This is thicker than the Addco bracket and will allow more room to attach the end links.
The car is on the lift but I did put jack stands under it, then lowered the lift so it sat on the axle in an attempt to get the axle to sit about where it will with the car on the ground.
My goal was to have the sway bar side sections parallel with the leaf springs with the car on its tires. This is harder to do than it sounds.
