I have just made the disc berake conversion to my 68 GTS Dart. And I'm now installing the Sway Bar. It appears to me that there might be an interference problem between the end for the sawy bar links and the caliper on a sharp turn. I still have the body on the rotisserie and not on the ground. Anyone been there done this?

Yes, there is interference. There are two ways to solve this. One is to swap spindles/calipers side to side. The other is to shorten the end links. You will also have potential interference between to the forward ball joint bolt and the sway bar tab. The bolt can be turned around (or so I've heard).

So, The solution is to swap the calipers and the they'll be on the back side of the rotor. Is there a need for different brake hoses? What Year?Thanks

As Jim said, you'd have to swap spindles as well as the calipers. It would be easier to just shorten the end links for the sway bar if your spindles are already on. If you choose to swap spindles, Bill Reilly at RMS suspension has some nice long braided stainless hoses that would work.

I'm was in the middle of installation when I seen the problem. I think I'll go with swapping the spindles since I brought new hardware for the sway bar. I also noticed the the caliper hit the strut on a hard turn. Thanks to all for the info. Ron
