The addco kits use an angle bracket attached to the lower shock mount. |

it sounds like you have a stock swaybar that you want to fit on your '75? the end links are supposed to attach to the lower control arms somewhere around the center of the arm. like emsvitil said, you could just use some 1/8" or 3/16" angle iron to make some tabs to bolt onto the arm using your lower shock bolt. a small gusset welded into one corner may help make the angle stiffer. the inboard bushings are probably going to be a problem as they attach to the k-frame which is a little different between the '75 and the 67-72. if you have the original mounts with you bar you should be able to adapt them. the key is to keep the bar as high up on the k-frame as possible for maximum ground clearance. some pics of the earlier type setup at firmfeel: http://www.firmfeel.com/swaybars_a.htm -james |

Does your 75' have the sway bar links? If not I see them periodically in the JYs. Seems like it would be an easier swap. Dart68 |

The 1973-1976 OEM front bar went through the K-member, the bushing brackets bolt to the two empty holes in the "C" notchouts by your steering box and spool mounts...THe LCA tabs can be made out of angle iron (3/8"...don't forget to gusset) and are located about midway down the arm(the 1967-1972 arms have the tabs about where the struts locate on the arms and I think the bar was bolted to the body or the front of the K-member(been a long while since I've seen a nice stock one)...then the bar has a bolt that spaces the LCA tabs and Sway bar ends properly... good luck, -D.Idiot |
