Rear
Sway Bars For MkII Or III
Cars
By Karl Schluter

Mounting a
sway bar to the rear end of a Zephyr can make a very rewarding difference to the
handling of the car. More so if you have soft rear springs. If you look at cars
already fitted with sway bars at the back or after market sway bars first, you
will see there is a variety of ways etc to mount them. I cold pressed
(carefully!) a Japanese 17mm sway bar to suit my car. It is mounted inboard of
the leaf springs. I use a large U-bolt mounted over the diff tube (B) with suitable
steel flat drilled to suit, to mount underneath the tube and then fabricate the
sway bar mount itself. Do this for both sides.
Some
wrecking yards etc, have mounts on cars you can buy. I also used after market
performance bushes while I was at it.
Where the
sway bar pin mounts through the floor pan (A) (under the rear seat) I use large
flat washers, if you can, have them coming through a double skinned area.
