hi guys have a 53 olds super 88, bought it about 3 months ago and slowly adding and changing things on it. I want to replace my front sway bar and put in a 1 inch, they told me a 58 to 64 chevy would fit but it doesn't. I read on a forum that a 55 buick would also fit but it doesn't. can anybody tell me if theres a 1 inch front sway bar that i can buy and put on my car. yesterday i saw that JEGS had one, i ordered it and today found out is in back order and they don't have any date that will be availabe. any interchange bar i can try, i want the stability a little better on turns thats why i want to replace the old one. any suggestions would be helpful. thanks
If I rememeber correctly I replaced mine with Aadco sway bars. They were thicker than the stock sway bars and it made a world of difference. I should have done it sooner.
Another thing you could try is obtaining a second "stock" sway bar and attach it below the first with brackets, creating a dual sway bar. A popular trick in the 70s.
I'd bet this would work. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/54-56-buick-performance-sway-bars.955409/#post-10747928
Are you looking for a "bolt on" ? With a little imagination, and some new brackets, there's no reason many of the GM bars won't "work" (not nesessarilly "fit"). I've got a Camaro/Firebird 1-1/8" bar on the front of my Studebaker, so it can be done...
