I'm wanting to add a front sway bar to my 76 Valiant.

Any recommendations on what will fit from different models or years?

76s seem to be scarcer than hen's teeth.

Factory sway bar from a 73-76 will fit. I'm sure there's aftermarket ones as well - just not familiar with them.

Most everyone makes bars to fit that car. Firm Feel, Hellwig, Hotchkis, etc. Go to Jegs or Summit and enter your credit card info and you'll have a bar in your hands in a couple of days.

Here is an A body with a Hellwig tubular anti-sway bar. This is a '68 A body with a '73 style K frame. Same basic setup will bolt right on to your '76 A body. They are basically the same under the skin.

I have the same dampers and spindles, but different calipers and rotors. Oh, my torsion bars are a little smaller at 1.14" too. :) Please excuse the rust. The car is sitting outside at the moment.
