Sway Away!
Our Biscayne was not originally equipped with a front sway bar, but we added one when we rebuilt the front suspension, which required swapping to a set of Impala lower control arms with sway-bar end-link mounting tabs (arrow A). We removed the old sway bar by first unbolting both end links and removing the two main support brackets (arrow B) at each end of the framerails. The new hollow-tube sway bar is not only lighter, but measures a whopping 11/4-inch-diameter whereas the factory unit (from an Impala station wagon) measured just under an inch. The toughest part of the installation is manipulating the sway bar through the frame. For easier access, simply turn the front wheels towards the driver side. View Related Article
