NJ Hotchkis Front Sway Bar - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bennett68C10 · 07-02-2012, 10:47 AM

I'm selling my Hotchkis front sway bar as it did not work with my Porterbuilt Tubular Control Arms. This bar is brand new as I only had it mocked up on my frame. It is a very big and beefy sway bar. Measures 1 7/16".

$275.00 shipped gets it.

Some pics of it installed.

vidman · 07-02-2012, 11:26 AM

Any mods need to be done to the lower control arms or stock steering. If not i would be interested in it..

CC69Rat · 07-02-2012, 11:35 AM

Nope, and it would be mine if I hadn't already bought one. !

I put one of these on a 69 Camaro, and I'm tellin ya, It makes a difference. It REALLY plants the front end.

If you haven't sold it by the time the one day slam rolls around I should have some spare $

CC69Rat · 07-02-2012, 11:52 AM

I don't think it would work on my 68 with the 84 LCA would it Keith ? I'll be needing one for that truck too. I bought Hellwig front / rear for the GMC.

Thanks CC69Rat, Looks like its just a bolt-on. The PO of my 72 used the stock sway bar to get towed or pulled and bent the bar and all of the mounts.

CC69Rat · 07-02-2012, 12:28 PM

Keith is a good dude man.. If you're at all interested in it, so ahead and get it. Hotchkis makes some of the best stuff in the business.

This bar prob weighs 50lbs. .. even hollow, it's still big and bulky to ship. At $275 shipped for a new one this is a steal.

vidman · 07-02-2012, 12:43 PM

I have their front springs and have never heard anything bad about the Company. Thanks Again

Bennett68C10 · 07-02-2012, 01:12 PM

No mods needed Vidman, I had it installed on my stock control arms and steering. Your first in line for it. Will pm you paypal address.

What did not work with your a arms, would like to know, as I was going to order this exact one!! Thanks Tim

Bennett68C10 · 07-03-2012, 11:39 PM

Where the end links mount to the porterbuilt control arms is not wide enough. The Hotchkis bar worked perfect on the stock control arms but due to the sway bar mount being positioned closer towards the spindle on my porterbuilt arms it didn't work. If you look at the porterbuilt sway bay you will notice that each end turns out towards the spindle as where the Hotchkis bar goes straight into the control arm.
