Hi all,

 

It turns out that some of the banging as I drive my '67 B through 
Boston potholes is the sway bar.  The 34 year old rubber mounts are so 
shrunken that they no longer touch the sway bar unless it's bouncing.  It 
can't be doing much good that way.

 

I've often thought of putting in a larger sway bar, but I love the way my 
car handles and I would hate to make it handle in some way I don't like.  
For example, I tried delrin A-arm bushings in my car (custom-made by a 
machinist friend long before they were generally available) and the ride was 
too 
harsh for me.  The MGBGT V8 bushings it has now are just right.  So 
the question is, can anyone tell me how a slightly larger sway bar would effect 
the handling?  Would it make the car handle like it does but more so?  
Or would it make the ride rough?  All opinions are welcome.  
TIA.

 

Denise
