I spent a little time this week end putting in/on the PST rear sway bar. The question is should the brackets that hold it to the rear axle be bolted closer to the pumpkin or further away from it?  Will this stiffen the ride or will there be little or no discernable difference??? ???

I did pull it out onto the drive way and it rode differently right away....Can't wait to start on the front end rebuild this next weekend!!!! :yesnod:

I have an old issue of either MoparMuscle or Mopar Action that covers that installation. It may take a couple of days (I have hundreds of magazines) but I'll try to find that issue and get you an answer...unless of course some other tech like ChrycoPsycho helps you out first.

Think it was Mopar Action with the 69 Road Runner.

I got my bars from SuperTuff, and I think they mount different than yours - see pic:

There is quite a bit of clearance above the pumpkin. I had some install issues, maybe because the springs keep the rear end a bit higher than stock. Anyway, it rides like a totally different car. Frame connectors are next!

Oh yeah...its a '68 Charger.
