You cant get new endlinks for them and you can't get the brackets either. Do you just throw the factory bar away and go aftermarket?

The end links are repoped, the brackets show up once in a while on E-bay and swap meets.

Here is a link showing them. This is not where I personally would buy them but it shows they are being produced.
If I remember correctly the links are the same as 1969 B or A body fronts, not sure on that though.

Hey Dave, I took a look at the link and they dont sell anything close to the endlinks for a 72 rear swaybar.

May not have the exact same stand-off length but will work on that rear bar in a pinch.

Chrysler had repair kits similar to this aftermarket one back in the day.

OK now I see what you are looking for, the only 72 Body I have worked on did not have that style bar and link arrangement.

Does anyone have a photo of how the bar is bolted to the rear end. Will a bar off of a 72 RR fit on a 71 GTX
8 3/4 ? The GTX was born without one, but I hear it makes it a much better handling ride. Worth the trouble or not? Not building a show car. Just want a nice looking(and fun to drive) driver.

Go to the mop arts forum and look under the cornering section

“Will a bar off of a 72 RR fit on a 71 GTX 8 3/4?”
Yes, all the original 72’ rear anti-sway bar components for the 8 ¾” diff. will bolt directly on the 71’, screw holes in the frame rails should already be there. Rear bars from 73’ and up b-bodies can fit as well however there are some variations in the dimensions of some of the mounting hardware.
“Worth the trouble or not?”
Definitely worth the effort and expense done correctly.

Dagina:
Let us know how they fit and post pix if ou can. I'm interested in those, or others. If not, might just go to FirmFeel route.
72RoadrunnerGTX- I didnt know you bolted yours in, thought those were welded in. Also, are those replacements or orginal? If replaced, where did you purchase them from?
