I'm installing an ADDCO rear sway bar on my '69. It's the type that runs along the axle and mounts to the axle tubes and frame. I bought it without any instructions and I'm not exactly sure how it attaches. Could someone copy the instructions or possibly take a picture of it installed? I'm worried it will hit the brake likes on the axle. Also, it seems like it would rip the sub frame after just a few corners, is this true?

I have an ADDCO on my 65. The U Bolts slide down over the axle from the front at abour a 45 degree and you do have to move the lines to put them on. Not drastrically, just a little. I have had not problem with the mounts being damaged at all. I don't really like the mount system though and am trying to figure out an end link system to replace it. I can't take a picture this morning but will try to get one at some point this weekend if you are not in a hurry.

The picture would be great, thanks. I think I might reinforce the rear frame anyhow.
