    So I'm running a '40 axel and wishbones on my '36 sedan. It came with a sway bar and I've decided to run that too. I've split the wishbones and I'm getting ready to heat them up and move them to match the shackles, and i just want to make sure I'm doing this right. The instructions that came with the transmission kit mentioned that the front hole for the swaybar cushion bracket should go into the hole for the 3rd rivet back on the frame. With it all mocked up, it's the rear hole that lines up, and it won't move back anymore, if I try to, the sway bar will hit the cross-over. So I just want to make sure it's all good. Thanks fellas

    The front crossmember on a 36 frame is different than a 40 crossmember, so you might need to fudge things to make them fit.

    Take that thing and throw it away. They are too small in diameter, buy one from Pete & Jakes, they are the ones that Chassis Engineering used to sell. They work much better than the original ever could.
