73 Challenger Rear Swaybar - Not hooked up

[Jon Stepro]

I just got a 73 Challenger. I crawled under to see if it had a rear sway bar. I has the factoy sway bar but the ends go nowhere! Also there are no brackets on the leaf springs to connect it to.

Anybody have these backets?

I have seen these leaf spring brackets pop up from time to time on ebay, other wise place a wanted ad in the appropriate area here on Moparchat or on Moparts.com (sorry) and someone is bound to have some- thats how I got my whole rear swaybar setup. I don't know who carrys NOS sway bar links. I have a better solution for those: The originals are 3" long between the bushings. I used a set of aftermarket links with polyurethane bushings from Jegs (Summit has them too) that are 3 1/4" long- just trim the sleeve down 1/4" to the proper 3" length and they work great! And they only cost about $15! Be prepared to spend $40-50 for a pair of leaf spring brackets, though.

Hope this helps.
