Hello,
My 69´Charger R/T does not have rear sway bar though it has something on the frame that seems to be the supports.
It was an option?

To my knowledge, the rear sway bar was not available through the dealer or factory for any 68-70 Charger.  Maybe aftermarket?

1st and 2nd gen chargers were never available with rear sway bars, that started with the 3gen.

ADDCO sells a good product.

I just installed an Addco rear bar on my 68' on Thurs. night - installation was not to bad but make sure you have another person with you to line everything up and to make sure that your mounting points on the frame are even.

Don´t go too large for the rear. It would hurt the handling or your car..
The rear swaybar must be smaller than the front swaybar.

I belive it is not valid for the 2nd generation.
I belive even the 70 Charger needs a diferent bar.I say this because i have seen that the sway bars for sale on the web are for 65-69 B-bodies so i suppouse the 70´will need other kind of bar.

The 70 front sway bar goes through the K-Frame, that is why they started the change in 70 bars for sale.

Right, the rear sway bar on a 71 and up will not fit a 66-70, because the frames are wider on the 71 and up.
