Default Front Sway Bars

How many different shape front sway bars are there for the C2/C3 frame? Need one that has the arms swept out (the straight arm style like on Julie's '70 would hit the tires since I narrowed the front tread), and no dips bends or whoops in the main bar section (it has to coexist with my steering rack). Pictures? Dimensions? References?

Thanks - Greg

Default Re: Front Sway Bars (GregP)

Hi Greg. I'll go out on a limb and say that I believe ALL 63-67 sway bars are of the same configuration. To go further out on the limb, I would say that ALL 68-82 sway bars are the same too....in configuration. The differences are in the "thickness" of the bar....3/4 inch, 7/8 inch, 1 inch and so on.

I'm not really 100% sure if ALL 63-67 and 68-82's lumped together are of the same configuration. You would think so, since the front suspensions are all the same. Chuck
