I was at the JY and found a 4 door with a slant, drums and a sway bar! 73-74? I forgot.

Never think to look! Too busy looking for good rears.

Did the V-8 cars get bigger bars? Did the 383 cars get a bar?

I got the LCA's too.

Check those 4 doors!

Front sway bars were available from the factory on A-bodies starting in '65. The same front bar was used regardless of engine, though the '65-'66, '67, '68-'72, and '73-'76 front bars are all different to one another. Don't know what the difference is between the '67 and the '68-'72 bars, and those two might well interchange, but the P/Ns are different.

Pretty sure the only factory availability on an A-body rear sway bar was in '76 with the A38 police-package cars built for LAPD and Ventura PD.

One would think 383 cars got bigger sway bars...to at least give something resembling handling! :shock:

Seattle PD also used '76 A bodys.

Don't think there is more than one size for the factory swaybar, regardless of engine.

Hey Rug_Trucker, you might want to go back and look at that Dart. I snapped up a front swaybar, 340 torsion bars (892/893's) and 6 leaf rear springs off a '73 Dart with a slant 6. Can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure the springs, bars and swaybar are all part of the HD suspension option. If it's got one, it's got'em all.

Thanks for the tip! I have a set of 340 bars out of a demon shell I bought for the BB discs. That is good to know for the future!
