I boxed my stock arms, used poly bushings, and sway bar from Just Suspension. I also dropped the rear totally out from the car. Someone on this list has a stock set of control arms they are willing to part with. My advice is to prepare them before you drop your rear. You need to drop the rear because the top bushing in your axel housing are very hard to remove. I drove mine out with a 9 pound sledge hammer. You can torch the rubber out then collapse the sleeve with an air chisel. The sway bar is attached with a load on the rear (jack stands on the axel) so put it on last. All the bolts on the control arms should be a little loose. Install the sway bar and tighten to specs on the lower control arm. Then you tork the bolts on the control arms to 65 foot lbs. Good luck! If you want some pics I'll send them direct.

I have a 65 SS that when I turn the cars roles real bad, I took the air shocks off and installed Gabriel coil overs hoping this would help. It did in that it lifted the car up but not much in the rolling. I am now looking at installing a rear sway bar. I have looked at several and need some help. I have looked at 3 different sway bars and installation. Addco has one that will install on my control arms without having to box them or replace them with boxed arms. I can get the kit with the bar and the pieces to box the arm from OPGI. Then there is buying new boxed arms and getting the sway bar to go with them. I like the Addco bar but concerned about not having boxed arms. Has anybody had any experience with these or know about them? I have just about filled that deep hole with money that I have been pouring into. getting to where I will have to decide on wife or the car. I am finding out I can't work on this one as easy as I did my 64 SS, I guess 40 years will make a difference. A lot more fun at 19 or 20 than 60, a lot easier getting up and down. This is a power glide that has been converted to 4 speed.. Any thing to help is appreciated, Thanks, darrell _____ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
