Stock Sway Bar
Stock Sway Bar
Rebuilding front end with SoT coilover and Unisteer R&P system. Anyone know what the stock sway/stabilizer bar size would have been for a (K-Code) '64 Caliente Convertible? When I mic the bar at the bushing locations an am getting .72" (23/32).... which is right between the 11/16" and 3/4" options to replace the bushing while I have the suspension disassembled.
Is it really worth the $100 to go ahead and get a 1" sway bar on a street car? And if so, is it the same size as the 65/66 mustang bar (Dallas Mustang store is down the road from me and could avoid paying shipping)
Thanks for the help as always,

I agree get the 1" bar.
65-66 Mustang will fit.

I love my 1 1/8" bar. Took away all the diving in the corners and still rides really nice
Re: Stock Sway Bar
1 1/8th. I love this bar! no lean, none. no body roll. no ill side effects. I got mine from Mustangs plus, on their ebay store.

If only I could buy one for my 61.

There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.

Re: Stock Sway Bar
As far as I can tell, they don't make larger ones.

Re: Stock Sway Bar
I dont see why a mustang bar wouldn't fit , it fits 64's & 65 comets & falcons. I've seen them on 63's.Lip Ripper wrote:As far as I can tell, they don't make larger ones.

I did both front and rear on my 65 202. I even put 1 3/8" front and 1" rear on my Mark VIII. It is fun to corner it takes the boring out of driving.
Only use the brakes to stop and get gas.

Re: Stock Sway Bar
Appreciate the feedback....... I have a 1 1/8" grab-a-track bar from Mustangs Plus on the way!
After reading your other comments on other threads, I also ordered a pair of Sanderson shorties, hoping they fit nicely with the manual R&P and cable clutch.
Can't wait to get the car back on the road and test it all out with an all new updated from end.

Re: Stock Sway Bar
That seems to be a good bar. has the mounts with the tapered corners ,even comes with grease for the rubber, I can't remember what the interference was but one guy with a different bar had the squared ends on his mount brackets & had to trim them.
