« on: May 13, 2008, 08:01:48 PM »

I have just picked up a new sway bar but as part of the kit I have to weld a bracket on each of my control arm,s does any have a photo of this so I know where to put it.

If its an addco bar for a 73+...the sway bar goes through the K frame, the tabs are welded on near the center of the LCA.  I mocked it up on the bench, marked the LCA, drilled then bolted it, then welded it JUST to be sure!

On my early 64 Valiant, the addco bar mounted under (just to the front) of the K frame.  The angle brackets fit on the lower shock mount bolt.

On the 67-72, the bar will mount under the K frame......but I haven't done one....so I don't know where the bar end link tabs would mount - sorry.

My '72 Addco bar mounted to the shock bolts, like your '64. I could never figure out how their suplied hardware was supposed to mount to the k-member. A welder would have been handy back then.
