INSTALLING THE REAR SWAY BAR

 The differential and related systems, installations, are now complete.  I connected the rear sway bar today.  The rear sway bar is connected to the frame and the differential to prevent lateral movement.  You can see the frame connection of the sway bar in the photo to the right.









The differential connection of the sway bar is shown in the photo to the left.  















 I also connected the steering idler today.  The steering arms on both front swivel axles, the steering box and idler are all connected by cross rods.  The idler, pictured on the right, is mounted on the right side of the car.












The mounting bracket for the steering box, pictured in the photo to the left, is mounted on the right side or driver's side of the car. 




























Soon, the idler and steering box will be connected by the cross rods, completing the steering system.

Later,
Tom McCurry
