Threaded/Snapped drop link???
 
Looked for post, couldn't find anything.

Is there a way to replace the prior 77 snapped rear sway bar drop link for the more modern bolted one?

Ultimately I would like to install the adjustable links

Thank you

You are using the ball on the trailing arm?

Most aftermarket anti-sway bars with the adjustable drop links use an attachment on the spring plate, using a special bolt.

Would your current sway bar work with that geometry? You can buy the drop links separately.

I'm planning on redoing all the bushings in the suspension.

I just never liked the ball attachment. I think must be a reason why they changed it on the SC.

Anyway. It is completely stock. I do have some newer sway bars that have the later drop link.

I'm just wondering what to do with the ball on the trailing arm. I want to get rid of it if possible.

Thanks

If you are not using it, just leave it there. My steel trailing arms still have the balls, even though the anti-sway bars are using the spring plate bolts.

If you are concerned about the weight or something, cut it off with a mill. :)

Super, thank you.
