Mikelly Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Guys, I've got an adjustable rear swaybar that Im' trying to sort out. The mounts to the chassis (behind mustach bar) are already on the Zcar. But I'm trying to source parts for the endlinks and I'd like to get pictures of the unit already mounted up. I've owned this bar for a little while and bought it off a member on ebay a while back... It was used with zero documentation...I'm also running the AZ Zcar rear chromoly control arms... Looking for sources for hardware and pics of the unit mounted up. Any help would be wonderful...

johnc Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Looks home made. DP Racing sells an adjustable 5/8" rear bar and, in the past, it might have had a slider adjuster like yours. The current version has 5 holes on each arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is the heim joint on the control arm for the sway bar mount the same size as the joint in your pic? Is there a set screw or soemthing that keeps the slider from sliding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) The heimjoint on the AZ Zcar control arm is only slightly larger, so opening up the tab on the slider harder is possible. Looks like a large cotter pin was used to keep the slider in place, along with the two "clamping" bolts. It has two drilled holes. John, I bought this from a racer who was liquidating all his Zcar "stuff"... I thought he said it was an "old" DP unit, but couldn't remember until I just read your post.

mark Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Mike, I'd mount the bar on the car, see how much length you need between the heim joints, and then either use a male and female heim joint or use threaded ron and lock nuts if a longer length is needed. I bet a male and female heim joint would work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLENN280ZX Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 What is the the thread in the hiem? 3/8" fine maybe..just thinking if it is 3/8" fine, then it maybe a similar mount to the end links sold by MSA and Dave at AZ. Just add the top washer and stud mount shock bushing to bolt slip through the sway bar end link mount on LC then add lower bushing and washer then thread in to hiem.A sleeve may need to added to position the hiem away from the LC to mount the clamp. Thats what I see IF the threaded hole in the hiem is 3/8. Just took a look at Daves site and seen a bar mount there that brought up this vision.
