Thanks for the video. I have a 74 vette and was able to put a beefier(if that's even a word hahaha) sway bar on than the original on. Oh yeah and I have to cut/grind the fittings like you did as well.

Thanks for the video, as the instructions were pretty worthless. It took about 4 hours, because none of the holes were in my 63.

I guess today's lesson for me it to verify something comes with instructions, 'cause if it doesn't, it probably won't fit either.

thanks for the comment Mike Zamb. its called a military wrap from the manufacturer.
@mikezamb30082 жыл бұрын
Thank's for response, I understand that an military wrap was around the eyelet as an backup incase of spring break. If I remember right Detroit Spring said they were for shipping purposes, to hold the springs together. Thank you for highlighting the fact that aftermarket parts are a pain in the neck from time to time.

have you noticed an important improvement in the stability of the rear end of the Corvette?
@elh4x4doinstuff4911 ай бұрын
thanks for the comment Mariano. i don't now how the stock setup without the sway bar felt, because as soon as i bought the car i immediately tore it down to the frame. it feels tight when cornering i guess.

I just bought a 74. I am getting ready to replace the rear wheel bearings and the ujoints. Is this sway bar on there from the factory or is it an add on you can do?
@elh4x4doinstuff4910 ай бұрын
thanks for the comment Michael Farley. this is an aftermarket sway bar. there should be provision for a sway bar located on the swing arms and frame.

Unless that’s a track day car, with a massive powered big block, that rear sway bar is way too thick. And those are street tires so I’m guessing it’s not a track day car, but a street cruiser. The largest a street car should have if it’s a small block or a big block is 7/8, and the center of the end link requires a spring, not a solid spacer, or the rear will drive the front, even with a 1 1/8 front sway bar. Why do you think that this sway bar meets your application? Big mistake in my opinion.
