Mine's a 1970 with no sway-bar, but it had the U-tabs on the arms. I've heard of a quite a few other non sway-bar equipped cars with the U-tabs. Seems the only real way to determine if they're on there is to look (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Sorry Dave-O, it was my feeble attempt at humor.

My '74 had the tabs and no bar.
I attatched the SRP bar to the tabs but Rich Walton helped me at Marina last year use the supplied drop link mounts. KT Attached image(s)

Crap, I just checked and turns out that there is no tabs on the A-arms but for some reason it still has all the other factory sway bar stuff.
So whats the best way to put the u-tabs on? Make and weld some on or buy the kit that appears to bolt on? |

aha. well - either some PO decided to add a factory bar and got as far as you did, or some PO hit a curb or two and bent some A-Arms... i bought a pair of weld-on parts from SRP, but for some reason i'm thinking they use an alternate mounting arrangement that does not use the tabs anyway (maybe i'm thinking about the back ...) EngMan was talking about having a set of tabs on his 'to-do' list. personally - i would *not* use the bolt-on mounts, even if Pelican Wayne (whose company sells such things...) illustrates their use. it's just wrong on so many levels ... or - do what we'd all do: just buy new A-Arms with the tabs already installed, replace the bushings with Mueller or Elephant bearings, clean and powder-coat the A-Arms, and replace the balls joints. Ta-Da - a $1000 solution to a $20 problem ! |

no. it's only around $800 after all the dust settles. but that's being lucky to have a friend with all the old parts you need (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) No worries! I got the joke, i just thought he should know that he might have the tabs even without the bar. But it looks like a no-go. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) TIME!!! |

Finally got the time this morning to remove the bar from "crash". got everything unbolted on one side, arm and drop ling are removed, but the plate and rubber bushing doesn't want to slide out over the square end of the bar. Any tricks here, or do we destroy them? If so, how do ya get the new ones in without damage?

Got it out. Took a litle coaxing, but it came out. Still not sure how to install the new ones without screwing them up, but I'll figure it out! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
