    Talking How to fit a 1 1/4" Shelby Z sway bar in a Minivan!

    I have more time than money so I figured I would give it a try, THIS IS NOT for the faint of heart, I figure it took me at least 8 hours to make it fit.

    I made new center mounts, then slid them further inboard as the Z bar is narrower and also shaped differently as I am using a 91 K-member. I used aftermarket poly bushings.

    I then had to heat and clearance the K-member as the bar slightly hit and I also ground off a bit on the inside of the bar.

    I cut off the ends, can't remember how much and welded on some of Johhny's precut sway bar ends, drilled a hole thru the cast control arms as used some Poly sway bar links. I got one end off on the angle but no biggie,

    Wow, it was worth the effort, the van doesn't pitch and sway into corners as much, it corners alot flatter, wow,
