? on ART's Strong Arms and sway bar.

I'm installing ART's upper and lower control arms on my 1969 Suburban and I have 2 questions:

1. Do the cupped sides of the upper control arm shafts go toward the frame or away from the frame? If toward, where do you get the beveled spacers?

2. What sway bar do you use with the lower strong arms? ART doesn't include a part number, even though they say to use one from PST. I orderd one from PST that was supposed to fit, but it won't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rob

maybe you should order 73-87 lcas because after 77 they were equiped with sway bars. MAYBE.. the 73-87 art lca's have holes for it.

67-87 get the same part. I know when I spoke w/them, I was told Addco sway bars would fit. I've never tried one so I can't say. I do know the stock ones won't work.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

The one I got from PST wasn't a stock replacement, it has holes in the ends for end links but it won't work.

It looks like you could make the bar work by moving it forward. Mount it directly to the frame a few inches toward the front....

I did that. I think it is the wrong one. I'm a little aggravated with ART. I asked for the right part number and they couldn't give it to me.
