I'm no expert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) but isn't that a sway bar? I'm sure I'll get the terminology wrong but: after I noticed it, I looked up behind the wheel and saw the drop link (?) connecting it to the axle.
Mine's a '74, as far as I know they weren't an option for the '74 models. But it looks like it came from the factory that way. I'm confused (but hey, happy, if I'm right about it being what I think it is). Thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  |

If you remove a front wheel you can measure the diameter of the bar with calipers before the arm. It may be adjustable! There is an "arm" that should be about parallel to the ground, then the drop links. If the drop links can slide on the arm (Weltmeister like mine) or have several holes for them to be re-positioned, it is adjustable. The closer the drop links are to the bar, the stiffer your AR bar is, less roll in front and more looseness in back (potential fish tailing at during cornering). Front AR bars rule!
