Re: [Chrysler300] torsion bars and sway bars 300 K

["John Grady jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Struts have no role in handling in the sense once they locate the control arm against forward impacts and to hold alignment their job is done , thick or thin ( unlike torsion bars or sway  bars ) . They are only loaded axially . But in process of changing those , new rubber bushings and realignment = May bring significant improvements . But cannot be connected to bar thickness . Just sayin

Hello,

I have a 1961 Newport and installed the sway bar from a 1963 New Yorker.  You must install the front strut bars also.  They are different.

I don't know how I drove the car without this for 50 years, what a difference!

Another area you may want to check are the front strut bars. I took a factory sway bar off a 62 Windsor and put it on my 62 Sport 300 which came without a sway bar. The struts in the Windsor were of a larger diameter.

I notice in the parts book that there are two different grades of torsion bars, one pair with and the other without the sway bar. I am going to be installing a sway bar on my 64 K  VC2 with the 610/611 bars.

 

Ha anyone had occasion to have installed a sway bar on anything other than the 300 K ram with the performance suspension upgrade installed? And own or driven a ram car with the with the performance suspension upgrade factory installed?  These bars are the 606/607 heavy duty. Is there a noticeable difference?

 

My front end is now apart is why I ask, so now would be the time to make any change.

 

Curios, the parts catalog shows the 606/607 heavy duty available for the 1964 Plymouth/Dodge models as well.

 

Thanks!
