Got the rear stabilizer bar on!
Permalink  

Nice day, had the spacers and bolts, so I went and stole the Spohn Performance bar from my project chassis and installed it. Aftermarket look, and I'll put the stock one on when I hook up and get it from 427Carl.
Big difference, but now I can really feel the sloppy front bushings and smaller front bar. So we'll add a bigger bar and get to replacing the bushings.

I always liked the look from the rear of a B with a big bar! Kind of completes it somehow.

If you ever seen a full size GM back in the day when they were new with a sway bar chances were it was a RCMP car.

Basically the large flatbar goes on the diff side of the control arm. There is a 1/4" "special spacer" on top of that at both bolts between the plate and bar.
Two small 1/16" flat washers per side at the rear bolt between the bar and the special spacer.
Special spacers on the nut sides of the bolts as well.
A piece of pipe inside the arm at the rearward throughbolt.

You could spend a fair bit of time shimming it to avoid any tension on the arms, and my bushings are tired and the arms were actually moving quite freely side to side, so it all will vary car to car. New bushing and It'll be more critical to keep it neutral.

My Spohn bar needed a 1/16" washer on the front bolts as well. It's actually said to be a Chevelle bar that is the same as Impala...but I wonder. I think it is a little narrower than the F41.
