Impala SS Rear Sway Bar in a Gbody

[streetworkxs]

Anything is possible. Here it was I have done today. Tomorrow I will box them in. I looks to be a massive improvement considering there wasn't a sway bar to start with 🙂 I'll post pics tomorrow when i finish it and paint it

Raised the rear end up while on the lift to where the car would usually sit, grabbed an angle iron and tacked it in place. puts some holes in it and wahlaa. Just gotta get crafty with that welder!

parts

is this a B body sway arm or a W body arm?

b body from a '95 caprice 9c1. Same size as the ones on an SS

the control arms are gbody. But the bbody sway bar is wider so i bolted the sway bar to the angle iron and welded the angle iron onto the control arm. It sits lower but won't be a problem

i'm hoping that you'll be solidly boxing it the rear arms. all that stress on one side of a flimsy piece of metal... let us know how she handles.

boxed in the upper and lower arms and painted it. haven't driven it. Car won't be running for a while.

I agree with the needing more support comment. That sway bar probably won't last 20 minutes like that. I would brace the sway bar mount you made, a lot. But other than that I like the idea.

ive seen 2 sway bars on one car. the second was from a wagon i think. the lower one went on like this one did but didnt require fabrication, it had its own brackets. i think it was from a wagon.

i wish i remember where i saw it cuz it looked freaky and seemed like overkill to me.
