1965 Valiant Sway Bar

[doug_henderson]

Will a stock 1965 Valiant sway bar work when using 1973 E body lower control arms.

I didn't know 1973 E body lower control arms would work on an A-body?

 

[Jim Lusk]

E-body lower control arms are slightly shorter than A-body arms (may have a different shape, but I'm not sure). You DON'T want shorter LCAs. The pins are different, but can be swapped as the bushings are the same. The sway bar tabs are not at the end of E-body LCAs, either, like they are on the original 65 A-body arms..

OK Thanks!

It will not work. The difference will be roughly 4 to 6"

I was able to find the correct LCA from a 1965 Barracuda,problem solved! Thanks

I was going to suggest just welding the tabs on your existing arms...

Hey Doug, I'm looking to add a sway bar to my '65 Val. but I don't know what they look like. Could you post up a pic of the sway bar and the lower control arms? Much obliged if you can.

Here is the sway bar Mojack, I am looking for someone that knows the correct length of the sway bar connector bolts with bushings, that I need to install the sway bar to lower control Arms myself :glasses7:

Thanks memike, at least I know what to look out for now.

If you would like me to put a tape on it so you can have the length I can do Mojack :coffee2: glad to be of some help :cheers:

That would be even better! The length from one eyelet to the other and the length of the "arm" from the eyelet to the first bend would be great.

Thank you Mike, that will help me compare to the later sway bar setup that I have. I'm going to try and adapt what I have to my '65 Val. I got started with the LCA Sat. :

Thanks Doug, I should be able to go on the info already posted.
