So what do you guys do about your rear swaybars?

[72RoadRunnerGTX]

The original 72’ and up rear bar system components are all bolt in and can easily be retrofitted to a 71’, some later Iso-mount parts are different. The bar pictured is from a later 9 1/4” diff., with the slightly taller later stand-offs it clears the Dana housing. The correct one year only Dana bar is a bit scarce these days.

Jeez I feel kinda bad. I skipped the factory setup and went with monster Hellwig's front and rear.

I'm going Hellwig front and rear: best deals I found for our cars:

Let us know how they fit and post pix if ou can. I'm interested in those, or others. If not, might just go to FirmFeel route.

72RoadrunnerGTX- I didnt know you bolted yours in, thought those were welded in. Also, are those replacements or orginal? If replaced, where did you purchase them from?

The car is at the bodyshop for body/paint When i get the car back here within a month the suspension will be the first thing i'll start to put on - At that price for the big front hollow sway bar for our cars - its the best deal on the net by a longshot. Hellwig has good reviews for the old mopars so I expect the fitment should go smoothly...

I can't find any holes in the frame rail. My 71 GTX was built in August 1970, maybe they had not started putting the screw holes in the frame yet? I have a bar with oem brackets and the part of the endlinks that conect to the bar off of a 72 roadrunner. I could rebuild the links with parts fron other new links. Be a shame if I cant use it.

“Will a bar off of a 72 RR fit on a 71 GTX 8 3/4?”
Yes, all the original 72’ rear anti-sway bar components for the 8 ¾” diff. will bolt directly on the 71’, screw holes in the frame rails should already be there. Rear bars from 73’ and up b-bodies can fit as well however there are some variations in the dimensions of some of the mounting hardware.
“Worth the trouble or not?”
Definitely worth the effort and expense done correctly.

Have always heard the holes are present on 71’s, clearly you have an early production car. Can’t find them, no reason to not drill them. The original screws are self-tapping.
