| The orange car was handling like a sloshing bucket of water,. so i added some shocks,.  I had this laying around,.  I njeeded to come up with a way to mount it,.so off to the neighbours,. i found some solid steel bar stock 1"X1.5",.. i cut a couple of pieces to fit inbetween the bushings on the control arms,. damn stuff is heavy too,.   i cross drilled them and the control arms,. then drilled and tapped the sway bar mounting hols for 1/2" bolts,.  I,m pretty sure its taken the flex out of the arms,. and i,m fairly certain the control arms won't break with the big bar,.   car handles better,.. anybody got a nice big front bar for sale? | |

| If that's the old solid hotchkis bar, it's more likely that IT will break before those arms do.
Nice upgrade. | |

| The lower control arms are a bit heavier now,. maybe too heavy? about 22 lbs each,.
but the mod was cheap,.
Hotchkis will stand behind the bar,. | |
