The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Due to my ongoing quest to improve the handling, Does anyone have a rear swaybar and brackets for a challenger at all? I need all the bits but anything would help

Check out this link- Many available. you can also check Ebay and type in "70 Challenger Rear Sway Bar" into the search field.

I dont like the style shown in the AD. I would only use the frame hung OEM type that was used on our cars when new. That type in the ad uses a differential hung type that is vastly inferior to the frame mount type. The place to get all this stuff is FirmFeel.com www.firmfeel.com

Thanks for the links I am going to go oem style. I am trying to do it on a budget so firmfeel might be out of my budget at present. plus I thought I would try fellow owners first And if I can find in the uk would be a result

Dont quote me as 100% FACT but when I bought my '72' it had a 74 B-Body rubber isolated 8.75 rear in it, plus the frame mounted sway bar in a 5/8 size,,very skinny!. It fit my 72 so a used E-B body bar assembly would work at a reduced cost. I sold everything for 85.00 bucks,, rear&bar plus fasteners. I would place an ad in Moparts or try to find a used assembly from the UK. Dont know what an ADDCO bar would cost but Hotchkiss and FF are the priciest but have excellent quality. Good Luck

Duncan Watts usually has front and rear sway bars in his hoard of spares.
Have you done any other chassis mods? Only mention it cos a rear sway bar will give excessive oversteer and wheel spin if not chosen correctly

Thanks Adrian Duncan is on my list to try. I have got H/D torsion bars and an antiroll bar up front and some kyb shocks .I was thinking of some adjustable strut rods too, and boxing the lca's as well?. I am looking into uprating the rear springs too, I am just not quite sure how stiff to go on tha rear.

I'd get the rear springs changed first, poly bush both ends and use or fab some heavy duty shackles.
You may find that the car is plenty stiff by then.
I think you should consider frame connectors too

Yes. Change the rear springs first and then see if it has any tendancy to understeer or oversteer. If it is understeering fit a rear bar.

I have had more trouble finding info on leaf springs, I might try some big block ones. Any advice on where to get H/D shackles from.
