Rear Sway Bar - Offset Trailing Arms
Here's a question for you all. I converted my 68 rear to offset trailing arms to accomodate larger wheels, however, now the original rear sway bar will not work. Is there a rear sway bar available to bolt on with offset trailing arms? I've searched and haven't found any companies that are producing them. It would be great if you could just bolt one on using the original mounting system. Thanks for your input.
Ps..I don't know how practical it would be, but would look cool! Ha!

I modified my sway bar, twice, for additional wheel and tire clearance. Once to fit my 18 x 9.5 wheels with 275/40-18 tires, then again to fit my 295/35-18 tires on 18 x 10.5 wheels. I need to write it up in a thread or a technical article. This week, I promise.

Thanks guys for all the information and pictures. I get my car back Thursday and I'll take some picts and give a brief description of what I'm thinking will work. I'm running 18" rims with 5.5 backspace on the rear, 275-45s I think...they may be 40s. More to come. Meanwhile, here's a link of my car.<br>
