Is there any sway bar off a differant mae or model I can look for to fab into the front stock suspension of a 59 3100. I found the info on putting a IROC-Z sway bar on the back. But I can not find anything on the front.
I know I can get a new sway bar for the front. But Im cheap so im looking for options.

Measure or estimate width and look at the muscle cars. Some had a 1" sway bar which should be stout enough for your 59.

They have springs, shackles, bushings, U bolts, front end kits, etc. and I'm pretty sure that is where I got a sway bar for my 57' BelAir. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 291 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 291 | Well ill look around and see if anything fits.
