Mopar question; Anyone have pictures of their Firm_feel sway bar set-up, in particular the supplies drag link bracket attached to the lower control arm for those cars that didn't come with one. The instruction sheet that they supply leaves a lot to be desired.. I'm working on a 70 Challenger.

why not just use a stock or PST unit? 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.

I don't have any pictures but I put a firm-feel sway bar on my '65 coronet. the part I think your mentioning simply attaches at the lower shock mount bolt. very simple. the firm-feel sway bar on my '65 is far superior in road performance than the stock factory sway bar on my '69 coronet r/t. the only negative I can find with the firm-fell is it does impede wheel travel if your doing tight turns; as in parking the car. 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. Cheers, - Art
