Just Suspension 73 Front Sway Bar?

[bordin34]

I bought a Just Suspension front sway bar for my 1973 Charger and can't figure out where the brackets mount, even with instructions. Does anyone have pictures of one mounted in there car?

[Nacho-RT74]

woops, just noticed you asked here too LOL. well already answered on Moparts

[bordin34]

I saw the answer on moparts and asked another question too. Thanks Natcho.

[bordin34]

I got the bar in.

[bordin34]

Pictures, I had to fool around with the brightness and contrast so you could see how low the bar is.

[73chgrSE]

Dude, I would not drive my car with a bar that low. I would be scared it would hit something.

[bordin34]

Pictures of how it is mounted.It mounts in the factory spots. The scratches are from me trying to fit it through the K-Frame cut-outs, but it didn't mount there.

Same here 73se, the bar seems REALLY low....the factory bar i have sits comfortably out of harms way through the K-Frame.

Car looks great btw 

[Nacho-RT74]

that's not simply good!!!

get the right rods, those are REALLY WRONG...

[doctorpimp]

That bar is way too low!!

[bordin34]

As of right now I can say that Just Suspension has ungood customer service. I wrote to them and it said that I would receive an answer within 24 hours and I haven't received an e-mail, this is the second time in 48 hours.

BTW, front sway bar GOES THROUGHT the front K arms, same where strut bars are attached. there is a hole/cut out there

Yeah, those centre link bolts are way too long.  Put the bar through the K frame and try some shorter, same dia grade 8 bolts.  Is that a sleeve that goes over the bolt for the centre links?

[bordin34]

The bar is too wide and oddly shaped to go through the K-Frame, that is why it scratched, from me trying so much. The bolt is a long bolt with a sleeve over it but only a couple inches of threads, so that limits me a little bit. Tomorrow I'm gonna break out the hacksaw, or sawsall for the sleeves, whatever is closer. I'm also going to spray bomb the bar to cover up the scratches a bit.

Keep us updated.
Did you try calling Just Susp?

[Nacho-RT74]

buddy, get returned that stuff and your money back. I would do any job if I get some free or being the last and only way, but never for some I paid and got new supposely being for the car

[hemihead]

That bar does go through the K member as stated . Other than the obvious safety factor of being too low , there is a reason that Chrysler engineered them to go in a certain mounting position . You may encounter drivability issues . Try flipping the bar completely backwards and horseshoeing it in .

[bordin34]

If you can fit this bar through the K-Frame I will give you a bumperette from my car. I found out why the customer service took longer than expected. Just Suspensions had to contact Addco about the problem and wait for Addco to respond.

[hemihead]

It doesn't look any different than my factory bar . If I lived near you I would do it for you .

[FLG]

Im not far from bordin, if ya want i can take the trip and you can match it up with my factory bar.

[bordin34]

I have seen and have had a 74 with a factory bar so I don't think I need to look at more. Addco responded and said " Dan, The bar looks good except for the hangers....WOW ...I have never had that problem before....Just let me know what size bolts you need to correct that problem."

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Does anyone have pictures of the factory bar going through the K-frame.  I will be adding a sway bar to my car as well.  Thanks.

[FLG]

If no one beats me to it, ill take a few pics in an hour or so 

[Gowinger]

Hey I put an ADDCO sway bar in my 74 last spring and it had the same WAY to long bolts and sleeves I just got new bolts and cut down the sleeves.There was no problem with installing the bar but everything was torn apart(no fenders valance etc.) This is the best shot I have.

[bordin34]

So it does go through the K-frame. I e-mailed addco when I found out about this, then my e-mails got lost in their system when they were going to send the bolts. I e-mailed them yesterday and today they said they will overnight me the length I needed which I said was about 6 1/2". Hopefully they arrive tomorrow and I can cut down the sleeves and put it in this weekend.

[CHRGR SE]

So Addco shipped the bar with incorrect hardware?

[bordin34]

Yes and No, they ship every bar for 73/74 Chargers with incorrect hardware. I think they believe it is correct but it is not. So everybody that buys this sway bar needs to buy some shorter bolts. I finally got my shorter bolts this week from Addco. I measured that about 5 3/4" would be good so I asked for 6 1/2" bolts. I think they are still too long but I should be able to add washers and stuff to take out the slack.

[Nacho-RT74]

I will measure the stock ones and reply to you

[bordin34]

No need to do that, I have the top half of the stock brackets that go to the k-frame which I measured from then added 3/4 inch or so.
