Re: [AMC-List] my 62 classic project

Dave, you'll have to modify something no matter what. I'd suggest using
a Concord front bar, and maybe an Eagle rear. The four bar rear
suspension probably doesn't need a rear sway bar though. Your car rolls
so much because of the soft springs more than anything. Once the
suspension is stiffened up it will track better and roll less. 

I have a Concord front bar on my 63. I had to bend the ends a little to
fit the stock sway bar locations on the lower arms. Bending a sway bar
is okay as long as you DO NOT use heat. The ends are bent out at an
angle on the Concord, I had to straighten them in a hydraulic press. To
mount it I drilled down all the way through the front rails and used
long bolts. You could use self tapping screws and just go through the
lower part of the rail, but I didn't because that could pull out. 

Only the V-8 58-66 cars came with a sway bar, and it mounts to the rear.
It won't work with a six -- I tried. The bar is made to go between the
oil pan and bell on the V-8, and the six is at a different location.
