Please explain so we can learn. I have 2 71 and although I have just began to work on 1 of them and only blasted the top side, I don't believe either has a sway bar. One is an L code with the small axle and the one I am working on is a N code with an 8.75. I cant say that I really studied either one.

Murky regarding the availability of OEM rear sway-bars on a B-body in 1971...

I am of the 'never say never' camp...


I added one to mine...

Only one frame rail drilled for mounts from the factory...

So common thought is none came with them not that they all had them.

I can say for sure that the rear sway bar was available as an option 72 and up. I did confirm by looking it up in the 72 parts maual. The 71 Charger brochure is vague. It metions sway bar as in singular, not sway bars as in plural.
Anyone have a 71 parts book? That will tell us for sure. My 71 shop manual is not much help. Thanx guys.

The rear sway bar was only available on cop cars in 71. Option for 72.
Here is a 71 LAPD Satellite Custom.
I've owned several 71 R/T and GTX cars and seen tons more. None had a factory sway bar. The 71 FPM shows the rear sway for B-bodies in the police car section only.

Yep but it is not my car. Is a 71 LAPD car that was at the Fling a couple years ago. Is the only 71B that I've ever seen with a factory rear sway. Though he said it was original to the car.
