So yesterday I was under my car working on my exhaust when I looked forward and saw this:
 I am going to add a sway bar so I was thrilled to find out I already had them but I'm wondering why I do? The car is a 72 and there's no evidence of damage in the past that would have made replacing both lower control arms necessary. It also does not have holes as if it had a sway bar and somebody removed it.Tabs are factory welded. Anybody else run into this?

My 76 has the tabs welded in from the factory. Also made installing the bar much easier. Maybe they gave the young welders somethin to practice on, a big crate of lower control arms with tabs periodically refilled... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
