Rear sway body quest. - GM Body

[De-noz]

I have rear sway which hit the diff cover if bolt on with existing parts. Think I must use a block and longer end like in pic to get the bar away from cover.... Is this correct?




Must the sway bar be parallel with the arms?

Thanks

These pics are if the sway bar is parallel to the arms....
What you guys think... Is this the way to go?

I would contact Addco sway bar company .Because they make most of them for the market .They can probably make a custom bar for you as well.

if we were sitting around having a beer and you asked me this, I'd say "it's fine bud". The forces for torsion are generated at the pickup points, so the orientation shouldn't have negative effect.

Uhhh love beer....

Any idea where I can find a longer middle part of the links with that threads inside.

My English is not the best sorry

my go-to is McMastercarr. Search for "internal threaded connecting rods". I saw they have some in turnbuckle style so you could adjust the height with it still mounted still. They have 6061 Aluminum which would be plenty for the forces on a rear sway.
Might be other places you could find it cheaper, but Mcmasty is my go to for stuff I care about.

The the sway bar swing arms do not need to be parallel to the lower control arms, just try to get everything in a place where they all play nice together. You can even rotate the axle tube clamps back a little to gain a bit more space as well. Might need tack welds to hold everything in place once you find your spots though as they will try to twixt under duress.
