Addco front bar kit, anyone use their brackets? - 02/11/12 08:37 PM

Got a good deal on front and rear sway bar kit for my 68 Coronet that didn't come factory with either. Figured it would be better than nothing, and I am not a racer. Anyway, their 154 front kit comes with brackets to mount the ends on the lower shock bolt, think I have that figured out. The K-member brackets look like they will put the bar brackets right into my lower radiator hose if I use them, unless I am installing them wrong. I am about ready to figure out my own brackets unless someone can maybe help me out? The also look like they sill try to put a rearward pressure on the bar if I put them on and tighten the bolts. Anyone have experience? Haven't even looked that the rear yet.

Thanks.

Addco's mounting hardware is pretty hokey-my experience and what I've seen around. You may what to have this moved to the cornering forum. I threw it away and made my own on the front of my a-body.

Use this kit from Energy to mount the sway bar to the holes that are allready in your K-member for the factory sway bar. Sometimes K-members are missing the/some holes. You can just drill them.



Bolts to these two holes:
