P15 rear anti-sway bar: which one?

[Ulu]

Mine is from a 1974 T-Bird, and I made the brackets and links to mount it. I mounted the brackets to the original rear shock holes and relocated the upper shock mount to a hole already in the frame, which made the shocks more vertical.

 

This, coupled with radial tires and the addition of KYB Gas-A-Just high pressure shocks all around was a real improvement in the handling. In fact It was so much better I never bothered to add a better front bar. I just wedged all the bushings up tight, lowered the front end slightly, and ran with it.

 

I don't know that there was ever a standard rear P15 rear anti-sway bar available ever, but perhaps there was. Anybody know?

 

Also, if you added a rear bar, which one did you use?

I did the same thing you did but I used the sway bar from the Explorer I got the rear end from.

I have just the stock rear end. The T-bird clamps for the axle attachment worked OK, but the Ford axle has straight tubes and the P15's are tapered, so the brackets tended to work loose over time.

 

I wasn't intending to keep the original axle, so I never worried about modding them to fit correctly.
