<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 68 DANA</div><div class="ubbcode-body">James,

In order to facilitate the installation of the sway bar as listed in the 11-74 dated Chevrolet P&amp;A catalog, do you know if it required the removal and replacement of the bottom rear leaf spring bracket? I have looked on-line for 1969/70 Novas with factory rear sway bars and from what I can see the rear sway bar is apparently mounted to the lower leaf spring bracket versus the frame assembly.

I will need to locate a 69/70 Nova factory manual to confirm.

3935773(4) were the left and right axle attachment plates.
They installed between the spring perch on top of the spring, the hole in the center was for the center locating bolt/stud in the leaf springs.

The brackets in the center at the top are the axle attachment brackets.

After studying the mounting points I do not believe they would interfere with a staggered shock arrangement the axle brackets install between the top perch and the spring, sandwiched in between with the pilot stud used to locate the bracket.

That sway bar equipment photo comes from the CRG Forum and was provided to me by Frank Dihartce. It was items that he personally owned. Please give proper credit when posting from other people and other websites. Thanks.

As I recall the 67 single leaf springs only have the &quot;pilot stud&quot; on the bottom of the spring not the top. Thus this bracket must go under the leaf spring.

Try to figure out how they would insert under the spring with any of the linkage having a remote chance of attaching.
They install over the spring to the front of the vehicle. The illustration which was with the kit is on the CRG.
