    I was thinking about putting a rear sway bar on my 56 but have not had much luck finding an application. Aadco has one available for 55-56 t birds. Are the rear axles the same on these cars as the fairlane?

    Try Thunderbirds Southwest. They have sway bars for sedans as well as Tbirds. I got the one for my 54 there. 979-249-4200 www.thunderbirdsouthwest.com

    I'm ***uming you didn't find the sway bar on their website, the only sway bars I could find on the site come with cars attached.

    Fuzzy, on the REAR? I'm familiar with the front swap, but if so, what did you have to do to make it work?

    The history and receipts I got on my car today indicates that a bigger front bar and rear bar have already been installed. Alas, no part numbers given so I have no idea what brand or application they're from. When the car gets delivered, I'll be glad to take some pics.
