Re: front sway bar woe's
Did the low profile mounts come with the CPP bar or are those something you had before? I would lower the vehicle so it's sitting on the ground and see how much that helps and then it's possible that you might end up mounting the bushings/mount directly to the frame. From what I've read it's actually pretty common.
If the whole setup came from CPP then I would put it on the ground and if that didn't work, contact CPP, I believe that Jeff is still active on here. |

Jeff's accounts shows to be Account Suspended.. If he's around I would like him to see this, before I have to get on the dang phone with them, not the best customer service from at least one of them a few weeks back.

Re: front sway bar woe's
move the frame mounted pieces so they line up drill holes and bolt it up
sometimes fabrication is necessary |
Re: front sway bar woe's
Are those the factory frame mounts or from cpp? It looks like those need to be moved to provide for the sway bar links being used in place of the factory horseshoe shaped mount

My bad I went back and reread instructions, it says to line it up and drill, I thought I was getting something else. So my Bad......Cpp front sway bar if anyone needs one.

Re: front sway bar woe's
Why are you not interested in moving the sway bar back?

You removed the rivet? I don't think you needed to remove the rivet. Mine had holes behind the rivet for the sway bar mount. I think you may have mounted your bracket too far forward. Here's mine. You can just barely see the rivet head in front of the bracket. If I remember correctly, I didn't drill the front hole, only the back one, and the front hole was slotted.

Hmmm, interesting... Sorry it didn't help you. It does look like your brackets could be moved back some though. I believe mine are, but I'm only looking at how close the short side of the bracket is to the bend in the frame. It looks like mine is closer to that bend than yours. That might be why yours isn't lining up? If you go with a factory style sway bar, it might have the same problem. I don't know since I'm not using a CPP bar, and I don't have a factory bar either. If the factory bar isn't longer, you'll probably end up with the same problem. Just a thought. Good Luck!

Your CPP bar should mounted to the front mount first.
The Addco brand sway bars come with an angle iron bracket that bolts to the front of stock C10 a-arms. The end links attach to the top of that bracket,... not thru the top of the a-arm. Your bar needs to move forward. Look here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=322228 |
