Most 318 cars, no. R/T and Rallye, yes. Some options packages included a front sway bar.

This is true. I have a 74 roadrunner (360/4-speed) that has only a front sway, and my 74 SS+ ( 318/auto) has both front & rear... go figure.

Front sway bar was standard on all '73 SE V8s and 440 coupes and hardtops. Not positive on 400s. Part of Rallye package(A57) was a rear sway bar, so there would have been a front bar. You could order a Rallye 318 2bbl, so a 318 would come with a front bar. HD suspension packages S11, 13, 15, 16 and 31 included the front sway bar. All '74 Chargers came with a front sway bar.

good info! I though that my 74 SS+ came with a rear bar was becouse it may have had the towing package.. not sue cause the B-sheet is long gone.

I bought a '73 RR with a 318 from the original owner back in 1978 & it had F&R sway bars. ALL Roadrunners from 1972, 3 & 4 should have both F&R sway bars - part of the RR package. Charger Rallyes too.

My '73 RR handled like a slot car - also probably the finest riding Mopar I've ever owned, right up there in comfort & handling with my old '79 300.

Thats odd cause my 74 RR dosn't have a rear sway bar. I guess it must have been removed at some point.

71-72 Chargers have TOTALLY different suspension than the 73-74. The cars are altogether different. Why do people always lump them together?????

My 73 Charger had a front stabilizer bar from the factory and no rear sway bar.

Car is a 73 Charger SE with the 400 4bbl.

Yes, the 73-74 Chargers had totally revised suspension from the 72 and earlier Chargers...so suspension parts won't interchange for the most part.

Agreed. However in 1972, even the big block Charger Rallyes got rear sway bars, but none of the BB '71's had the rear bars. We're talking suspension & sway bars here & changes from year to year - that's why I threw the '72's in there. Also, the '72 RR's & GTX's got the rear sway bars on ALL engines. Rather significant changes.

Well because the 71-4 are the 3rd gen Chargers. Yes the front end is different and not just the supension. Different front frame rails, cross member, aprons, core support and K-frame.
But there is alot that is the same. Most the rest of the body, interior and drive train is simular. More of the body is the same than not. So they are not totally different cars.
