FS: 1" Front & 3/4" Rear Swaybars

[hmsports]

No end links or bushings, just the bars...

1" Front : $30

3/4" Rear: $25

Thanks,

I may be interested in the front sway bar. What car is this for? How used is it? Any cracks or anything at all wrong with it? Can the endlinks from my stock sway bar be used or should I have something more heavy duty for this bar? How much would shipping to 78613 be?

What year are the bars for? In particular, the rear bar? If it fits a 72 I'd be intrested. Ya know, mounts on diff support, forward facing.

59 Ghia, can you clear up this subject for me? (Or anyone). You mention diff mount rear sway bar, 240 Z. The way I understand it, the factory mounts were on the crossmember. Is there also a mount for the rear sway bar on the transverse link bracket? Thanks

On US Spec 240Z's there was no rear sway bar available. The lower A-Arms do have places for the end links of a sway bar to mount. As for mounting sway bar, there are two styles available from after market sources. One requires drilling holes in the chassis just behind the seats to mount it. The other uses brackets that replace the rear Inner suspension mount plates with ones that have a provision to attach the sway bar. Many people prefer the latter design to avoid drilling holes into the chassis.

I have a picture at home that I will up load later today which shows that style of kit.

Carl thanks for the info. I am trying to figure out which aftermarket bar has the mount on the transverse link. Do you know of any brand names? Also, I see NISMO rear sway bar mount brackets, bushings, etc. As I understand it, there is a factory L shaped bracket on the crossmember for rear sway bar? And on that subject, my understanding is that 260-280 factory rear bar would then "bolt on to" a 240 if the 240 had the L shaped bracket on the crossmember?

In the 3 240Z's that I've owned, there has not been any brackets to allow for installation of a Rear Sway bar. I've had a 71, 72, and 73 model Z.

The picture that I have is from Grond Control www.ground-control.com but I *think* that Suspension Techniques also sells a rear bar that mounts from the rear, but would also come with mounting plates to replace the rear suspension mounts.

I'm not clear on what cross member you are refering to.

[Bambikiller240]

Here's the Pic from Ground control with the brackets I was referring to. They replace the stock ones on either side of the Diff. The rear part of the A-arms mount to them.

The "factory" 240 (European? Japanese market?) I am thinking of, the type where the NISMO large diameter bar, is also offered, etc. I thought was attatched to the "crossmember" formed in the floorpan at the front of the differential. Is that the factory mounting type for the 260-280? I see it in the repair manuals. The bar bushings mount to this "crossmember" on the floor pan. Thanks again.

Yea Carl I just saw the picture, thats what I am thinking of. Thanks

It could be, but I am not sure, as I've stuck to 240Z's and really haven't ever been under a 260/280Z since the late 70's.

The "other" after market type that I was mentioning simply bolt through the floor pan and do not use the cross-member that you are refering to (I now understand which one you mean). When this style of bar is used (through the floor, not on the cross-member), you have to use huge washers to back it up or the bolts will rip holes in the sheet metal floorpan.

[350ZGTO]

You are so right about the "drill through the floor pan" mount type. Thats what I want to avoid. Carl do you know is Ground Control or anybody else offering this transverse link type mount rear bar, etc?
