I bought one from a board member but it must have been tweaked. It went on hard and now the spring clamp has twisted after driving it some. Looking for a known good one. Let me know what you have. Thanks in advance. Bud

I have several. $50 plus shipping for bare sway bar. I usually sell them as a package with the crossmember and spring plates. Did you use the 73 crossmember when you installed it in your 72? I just want to make sure that your bar is bent and not misaligned before you buy another one.
Thanks,
Ray

I did buy a 73 crossmember with the bar originally. The driver side fit up fine but when I attached the passenger side the bar seemed too long and I put it together with some difficulity. Now after driving it the spring pad has rotated. Any suggestions on confirming the bar is the problem?

Make sure the eyes (where the spring plate bolt goes through) on the bar are parallel with each other. Your frame could be bent or your axle could be out of align. Any lift on your truck?
