Best way

[Mopar Tim]

What is the best way to connect a front sway bar to 66 Abody control arms with no mounting tabs? Thanks.:color: MT

Add mounting tabs.

Add mounting tabs.

LOL. of course. Best to connect them to the shock bolt? Dont want to remove control arms from car.

Most aftermarket bars use the shock bolt with a little L-shaped bracket, very simple.

Thanks, never bought a after market sway bar before, did not know they came with that part.

Went through a couple shock bolts initially, then figured I needed stronger bolts. Happy after that.

If I had a welder with enough power, I'd fabricate tabs that look something like this. Apologize in advance for crude artwork.

Angle iron works wonders.

I guess the best way really depends on what Your intentions & capabilities are. If tooling around cruises
& just looking for quicker turn stability occasionally dodging road obstacles is the extent of it, sure
knock yourself out w/ an L bracket & superior hardware. But if You're actually planning some real
road fun w/ capable tires (H-Z & under 280 treadwear), forget that BS! Mopar saw fit to put the lower shock bolt in double shear for just the shocks stress. Which is nothing compared to what a
decent sized stab. bar will do to an L-bracket leveraged off one end of that poor bolt! weld weld
weld & brace , by all means include the shock bolt, but weld the bracket in place w/ as much
support as clearance for the link will allow.

Anyone have a part # and vendor for such a part? (Torsion Bar)

This was my thinking as well. Thanks :color: MT

This might be hard to see, but the Firm Feel brackets are pretty heavy duty. They mount to the lower shock mount with a new longer bolt.
