OOOOH OOOOOOH I KNOW!
That's from my 74 FSM. Looks like a bracket welded onto the front of the lower control arm.

Looks like one (and only one) set of lower control arms for A-bodies in '73 and '74. No listing for "W/ anti-sway bar" vs. "W/O anti-sway bar". So how was the bar mounted in '73-'76? |

Not sure, but probably something like the C body/isolated K frame B body set up, with the end links bolted to a bracket that wraps around the strut rod. |

Okeh, but then the question is whether all of the '73-'76 LCAs have the bracket…given that there's no separate part number given for "with" vs. "without". |

Nope. The LCAs on my brother's 74 Duster have no sway bar bracket. www.car-part.com lets you search for with or w/o sway bar brackets. |

Interesting. FPC fail!  Wonder what else is missing from cars not factory equipped with sway bar. (it's peanut butter jelly time…) |

I would hazard a guess cars not equipped with a sway bar are missing two tabs welded to the LCA, the sway eliminator, two links, ten retainers, two sleeves, two supports, eight insulators, six nuts, four bolts, and four washers.

Hold still while I throw this end wrench at you. I said hold still, dangit!

And a partridge in a pear tree.

I agree with Reed. I had to add all that recently... |
