Fabbing up a rear sway bar for a Lark

[Warren Webb]

I know this is late but I used the front and rear from a 85/6 firebird and bent the eas of the rear bar in a few inches and it feels like it handles better that my 3 series BMW.
This is the rear. https://plus.google.com/photos/11667...55889877658705
This is the front. https://plus.google.com/photos/11667...89296114667409
Since then I have added and extra leaf at the back and swapped the front coils for some Moog variable rate CC655's.

Len, thanks for the great pictures but they raise a question with me. In them it looks like the left side mounts above the lower control arm while the right looks to mount below the control arm. Why? Or am I looking at the photos wrong?

I tried both. If you search through the photos you will find a shot of each side with the mounting of both above and below the control arm. I even flipped the bar over to see if I could get a better angle for the outer ends but having them below seems to work well enough and as I don't travel on rocky ground the clearance is not a concern.

I think the complete set is mixed up with all the other albums. I will look tonight and see if they can be sorted better.

Correction, photo 4 and 7, and photo 12 and 13, show the mounting below and above respectively.

I recently pulled a front sway bar off of a 1985 Parisienne (same as Caprice). I think the measurements are identical to that 84 Olds midsize front bar.
