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.

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

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! :roll:

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. :mrgreen:
