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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Not sure why the pic is upside down but you get the idea. |

Probably easier to just make more than you need with tabs than to figure out the exact number and make only those.
