The GW arms have no provision for sway bars? Every one I've ever seen has them, and use a eye link bar on one end?
https://www.globalwest.net/gto-grand...968-1969-.html Only way I can think of that would cause a harsher ride with a sway bar is if there is some type of binding in the suspension, and/or poor/dead shocks. And you should certainly notice a difference in handling (body roll). You can 'adjust' the reaction time of a sway bar by tightening/loosening the sway bar end links. Maybe try loosening the end link bushings some, see if that is more acceptable ride for you. But I would suggest first looking at the entire suspension up there for worn bushings and ball joints, shock selection/condition, or possibly incorrect spring rates.. . .

Looking at your link to the current A arms from GW, the new ones absolutely have the provision for the sway bar. But mine didn't have the plate at the bottom of the A arm near the ball joint like the current photo shows, much less the "eye link" as you call it.

DRAG car- that's why. GW makes a different type for drag cars. There's not really a need for a swaybar on a drag car.

BTW- When speaking w/ Mark at SC&C, he made mention of a swaybar from Hellwig specifically for the 64-67 A bodies- said they are narrower.
This is news to me, and I can't find them on Hellwig's site, but they could be his proprietary parts from them. I always went w/ a T/A bar, but I may try one of his on my 64.

Nothing but dead weight (sway bar)... Was an easy fix (if you know how to weld). |
