After 87, they moved the mounting for the sway bar to the center of the lower control arm. The earlier version had it on the front. I was told they tried the factory versions and numerous aftermarket versions and could not get one to work with any type of real tire.

That being said...I will bet I get one to work...LOL

Well that's jacked. I never paid attention to the sway bar linkage anchor point on the arms I have. I'll have to look into that.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I went and looked at mine. Sorry..it isn't in the center, but it uses a different mounting style that the earlier versions and apparently, that interferes with sway bar due to the location of the rack.
