When I took my front end apart it had this weird bolt on sway bar contraption that was falling apart. I installed a set of Bergman weld on tabs on my Lower Control Arm, these are welded inboard of the Strut rod. after reassembling my front end I realized that the tab location was about 4" shorter than the bolt on location, and my sway bar is too wide. I found out that new location was the 1970 and up location. Does anyone know if I can use a 70's on up sway bar on my 66?
my last-ditch thing would get mine bent but I really do not want to do this.
 
You would have to seriously modify your k member to get the sway bar in there. I think welding the tabs back to where they belong would be the best bet

The existing LCA didn't have tabs and I have no Idea where to put them. they had some loosely bolted on rubber isolated contraption. I installed these using photos from the seller.
I may just get the one I have bent to size. I know it's not optimal but I gotta go with what I know.
 
Ok, good luck with the swaybar bending.
The rubber isolated contraption is the 66 down factory swaybar.
 
The originals share the shock mount hole.
It's possible to cut them off and weld them:

The "newer" style which mounts to the lower control arm as shown was a mid year 66 upgrade.
 
Have to agree, most 66s we have came with the new style.
But he's got the old " contraption" :lol:
 
Well I welded the tab on when I put the boxing plate on the Lower control arm. I have a few Ideas Ill tell ya what I come up with when I figure it out.
