Is there a bolt on front sway bar available for the 68 Dart? (4 wheel drums). I have read some posts that mentiond welding. Unfortunatly I don't weld and don't know anyone who does.

I run a 1 1/8" bar from them. I had to drill a hole in both lower control arms to bolt the angled pice on that the links hook to. Feeding it through the K frame was the hardest part....takes maybe an hour and a half to put it in. Of course this is for a B body, so an A body will be different, but not much.

Good to know that there are some that bolt on and that no welding will have to be done to get it on! I need one of those on the '72 Valiant....

Makes a big difference...handles better, tracks down the road better. If you get one locate the angle pieces that go on the control arm so the bend nest under the upper lip on the control arms. Doing this will help keep them in place.

I've had a set, front and rear of ADCO's on my '74 since 1985. I got mine from JC Whitney and they are all bolt in and work fine. I dont know the diameter but for everday driving they are fine, a little bigger would be nice though.
