Rear-oriented rear sway bar


Recommended Posts

Steve,

Ron is correct ! They will bend what ever you want . My buddy wanted a rear facing 7/8 : bar and a 1 1/8 " front . When they

bent the rear they didn't take into consideration his car was an early 70' and

missed it by an 1". They took the bar back

and made him a new one up.

I would still like to see one of Don Oldenbergs tubular bars .

Just finished installing the rear S.T. sway bar and new suspension brackets. Pretty straight forward installation....I had a leaking r180 backing plate leak, so I took out the mustache bar and backing plate and cleaned up everything...some tips:

1. prop up BODY on jackstands so the A arms can move freely....when you have everything installed, except for the sway bar ends that go through the arms, switch to propping up by the TIRES...the sway bar ends won't mate up until the suspension is compressed quite a bit more than than when fully extended...i just used a 3 ton jack to prop up and slip red ramps under each tire.

Man, the difference is incredible....I just put a 77 280z 5 speed / new 78 clutch/master and slave cylinder/ resurface flywheel and put both sway bars on my 72 240z ....this car so tight on turns and the 5 speed is much better shifting action than the 72 4 speed....definitely recommend these upgrades to every z owner. No lean !
