    Ready for a sway bar....

    I'm ready to do a sway bar on front of our 55. Without rocking the boat can I ask if any one has had experiences with Oldedays Classic Parts? Thanks.......

    Sorry I have sway bars on both my 55 and 56 but I bought one From CCI and the other from a swap meet. They are a nice addition.

    a swaybar will be a definite improvement in handling. Almost no matter which one you put on.. a lot of them are made by Addco as Chevynut has posted.

    hargis, find out what bar oldedays is selling.

    Any bar is a good addition, but bigger is generally better.

    I've heard if of a huge problem with anyone's front sway bar, with this one exception - if you have front mounted disc brake calipers, they may hit the sway bar when the wheels are turned max.

    According to Summit Racing: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/h...2/applications it doesn't "exclude" wagons but I'd call rather than risk it. I suspect the only possible interference in the rear would be the fuel tank but I have no concrete knowledge on that. With the exception of Rick's comment the front shouldn't have issue either. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/h...2/applications

    If the rear bar doesn't fit a wagon as a bolt on, you might be able to make it work anyway. As Nick suggested, a phone call should help out.
