Front Sway Bar install?

[HotWheels]

Anyone have a good diagram of how the front sway bar gets installed? How many bracket are actually attached to the front Diff? Are they both welded on?

thanx,

Not to hijack, but i just was curious, does the sway bar make a big difference in performance or handling? Ive never driven without it. just wondering

I think it'll help alot with side-to-side movement (sway) in front and back. Should make it handle very nicelyon the road.

I'll keep you posted.

I was thinking about buying a 77 Bronco sway bar from a guy I know but it seems like it would limit suspension travel. Does anyone know if that is true? Do you guys that have added sway bars think it helps?

Yes it does, that is what it is suppose to do. That is why people take them off, to get more articulation.

Correct. Yet if you have a 95% street driven daily driver the street manuerism is vastly improved. Doesn't keep you off the trails either. So it depends what you want your bronco to do Crawl, Walk or Run.

I know mine does not like high speeds (triple digit) without a sway bar. I am not sure if it would help in that situation either as I think I am actuall getting more problem with front end lift then anything else. Soft springs that are good in the rocks do have a nice ighway ride, but are not ment to impersonate a mustang.
