The instruction sheet that they supply leaves a lot to be desired.. I'm working on a 70 Challenger. Last edited by hemi68charger; 04/30/19 05:53 AM.

Because my friend bought this kit and his car doesn't have a factory front sway bar, hence no perch bracket for the drag link bushings on the lower control arms.

Same here - I installed a FirmFeel tubular front sway bar on our '65 Satellite. The two end link brackets bolted to my LCA through the bottom shock bolt. I did have to re-tighten the bolts after a hundred miles or so - I heard a funny squeak and the bolts needed tightening. I haven't noticed any interference with tight turns.
