Need of rear swaybar?

Thought of mounting the rear swaybar I bought a year ago but after seeing that I would have to drill in the frame to mount the
upper brackets I thought I should ask if it's worth the while doing it. Being an occasional sundaydriver, will I notice any difference? :scratchchin:

I think mine firmed up the rear quite a bit in the turns....not a slalom course type of tightening but definitely noticeable... :Twocents:

Is that how the "B" was painted on your rear?  Mine was closer to plumb, and painted in almost perfect "print" style. I have an ancient Polaroid of it around here somewhere...
P.S. I like my rear swaybar, too. I felt no guilt whatsoever in drilling the sub rails.

I sort of copied off this one (69 Coronet R/T 'vert) & added my own angle...

I testfitted the swaybar today but it seems the U-profile supposed to keep the U-bolt in position doesn't want to stay put so the complete
bracket turns towards the front of the car, did you have that Chris? :scratchchin:

Note the too long U-bolts for the springs, new correct ones are on their way. :2thumbs:

Nope, no problem like that..make sure to crank down on the bolts to prevent the twisting..

Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

not just 6T9 chgr,  that rear sway bar you have is an addco bar right ? What size bar is it, and do you like the addco bar ? And do you have a stock bar in the the front. I have a stock front bar on my car, and want to put a rear bar on and don't know what one to get or what size to get.  In the future I want to put a bigger bar on the front. Alan

Excellent idea covering the jack handle with foam. I will be doing that as well.

Thank you!  :2thumbs:
