Rear sway bar

Does anybody know where I can buy a rear linkage kit for my ' 72 RR 440. Taking the sway bar off destroyed the old linkages.
Thanks!!

I was lookin a few years ago. No luck at all. Rarely on eBay.
Found a sway bar without linkage thats why i was looking.

Good Luck! I am in the same boat with my 72 RR. You are going to have to make new endlinks or buy an aftermarket swaybar. I have pretty much decided to just buy a new swaybar.

Well, I guess there goes trying to restore the car and keep it original.
If I get a new sway bar, does that come with linkage kit etc? Who do you guys recommend to get that from.
Thanks !!

Yes, the aftermarket swaybars come with all the necessary parts and hardware to install it on the car. I have posted a thread asking the same question as to which aftermarket bar is best. The two main ones I have been told are good are the XV Motorsports kit and the Firm Feel kit. Both are quite pricey. I have also found that Hellwig and Addco carry rear swaybars for these cars. The Hellwig bar looks pretty good and is reasonably priced. I am probably going to go with the Hellwig bar.
