Rear Sway bars on a WAGON???
#1
Greetings!
I was wanting/ needing to install anti-sway/ roll bar on the rear of my 73 coronet wagon.

a local company called "firm feel" sells rear sway bars. does anyone know how these would be to install on a non-equipped car? or possible?
thanks

Yup, it can be done. How they mount varies between manufacturer. Some mount to the axles with U-bolts and use end links (either end links for front bars of the era, or solid bars with bushings like newer cars), and others have brackets that connect to the leaf spring u-bolts and connect to the frame.

There is a user on here that has a Firm Feel setup on his wagon, maybe he can pipe in on how it fit. They are a good company to deal with, I've bought a few things from them for my car.
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

I installed a full Firm Feel set up on my wagon. 1967 Coronet 383 cid w/Air and 3rd seat.
You will have to upgrade your front bar before adding a rear, you might get a bunch of oversteer if you just ad a rear.
I installed Firm Feels front 1.25 and a rear .75. I also up graded my torsion bars to 1" and added a leaf to my rear springs when rebuilt.
I great alignment does wonders as well, I have as much castor I could get about 3 deg positive with 1/2 degree neg camber
I also have installed the Firm Feel Bilstien shocks, this has improved the cars handling greatly, so much that I accelerate onto off ramp round rounds.
Just need to add Velcro to my pants and the bench seat.
Hope this helps.
