Rear Swaybar modification/placement

[fishsticks]

I wouldn't be opposed to changing to a 4-link setup and losing the sway bar altogether. Seems effective and a lot less complicated than adapting/fabricating a sway bar.
Something similar to this:

A proper diff truss wouldn't be a terrible thing either.

I vote for triangulating the rear. Barton...O Barton, can we build a weld on truss/link mount to sell?

I will talk to him tommorrow. We got a lot of work before Tecore, but if anyone can find a basic truss for sale we could add to it may help. maybe I should pickup the rear-end with torque convertor to play with and try initial welding. Wish Fish was closer and we could pplay with his old housing. Or maybe you can try to figure out something...

Oh, duh. I DO have a housing sitting in my driveway still...

And dont scrap it with the mounts on it, I may be able to use them in the future...

I'm already scouting craigslist, and maybe hitting a couple of junkyards this weekend. With the welder, grinding wheel, and drill press that I'm getting this coming week, I may be able to play around with this one myself.

The 4 bar is cool and all... but how does that help the swaybar issue?

And isn't the gas tank going to be in the way?

Axle truss is cool too, but be careful when welding that, as welding it can bow the axle if not done right.

It sure is... The diff would need to drop down a good distnace to clear brackets especcially around full compression on the drivers side.

Has anyone converted their endlinks to a more standard design, like those availabe here: here. A little right angle bracket should help out, assuming the other dimensions are close, thoughts?

My thought are that it is a great idea. Doesn't really relocate the sway bar, but the quick discos would be a great thing.
