The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop mustange II sway bar options ?

Does anyone know of a stock - salvage yard sway bar that is the right width to fit a 'stange II front end ? The stock 'stange II/Pinto swaybar has the big "dip" right in the middle - it hanges lower than my crossmember ! Can't afford the Chassis Engeneering one . I sorta remember somewhere someone said a GM "G" body one fits but I am nowhere near one to measure one .

Sorry I can't offer any options Bears,but I'll be watching this thread too.
Some-one will chime in soon.

I'd advise against the OEM Mustang II / Pinto front sway bar with the dip in the middle of the bar, depending on road conditions. Here is New England with all the rough roads, pot holes, frost heaves etc. we've had problems with the dip of the OEM sway bar hitting the roadway. If you live in an area where all the roads are smooth you'll be OK.

Sounds familiar, just the other day I passed a pot hole and a Chilean miner was climbing out!
Why does the original 'stang one have a dip anyway,is it to clear something?

The dip is to clear the front sump oil pan on the Ford car , if I remember correctly . I have read that it would work good for the Rear sway bar , flip it over so the dip goes over the center section of the rear diff. I had a stocker on front of my truck for a while and it drove much better but caught too many roadkills !

Thanks bears.

It won't be cheap like something in a junkyard, but I bet you can find something if you go after-market. I think what you are looking for is primarily something the right width--depending on the track width of your truck, which may not be right with the stock MII sway.

Try Addco http://www.addco.net/ or one of the chassis folks like Fatman's or Heidt's.

Of course you may get into fabbing the mounts a bit, but some adjustable end-links can make that pretty easy. Good luck, hope this helps.
