 |
|
My Mk3 Cortina really dives into corners and when heavy on brakes. And while I do like the comfortable ride, Its chewing up my (maybe) too wide tires. Id like to add a sway bar, And Im sure I can do it, but Im just not sure what donor vehicle I can snag one from? Or does it really matter as long as the ends of the bar are somewhere close to the LCA?
Cheers guys |

Don't understand why you'd want that, but either a 73 or 74 Capri would work...

I don't have any personal experience but I have heard or read several times that adding a rear bar can really mess things up.

Most of the TC's had swaybars overhere front and rear .
Some early models with small engines came without .
So part is available for this car .
For the rear there where at least 3 sizes , 12 , 16 and 18mm .
They are mounted inside the lower Control arms .
