G-body sway bars on A-body?

I'm guessing this doesn't work, for front or rear, since I've only seen posts about the F-bodies. Is this true?
Thanks,
Tim

 

True...

A bodys are wider than the G bodys... something like 1in on each side or so. o No:

 

I have used many G body rear bars on my A body cars I use the early straight ones as they look better. But the front of the bar is narrower than the A body bar, you can either space it out of tighten them down to pre load them. If you tighten them down they will probably break, not all will, but some do if you want pic's just ask and I can post one of how it looks

you do not boix the lower arms if you use the G body bar use the spacers that come witn it

Use the 70-81 Trans Am front 1.25" sway bar and you can buy new rear bars from any A-body supplier. You will have to box your rear lower arms when installing the rear bar.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been offered a rear sway bar off a GN for $35.00. I need one for my '71 GS that already has boxed lowers. Does that sound reasonable? Is that one of the "break-prone" bars?
Thanks,

It is worth the money to purchase a new rear sway from Poston- T/A or Year one etc. NOT STRESSED OUT ALREADY. When the front and rear are right, it is like having sticky glue on the road.

 

Get the correct rear bar. You can get a new one for $75-80 from www.opgi.com www.nationalpartsdepot.com www.thepartsplaceinc.com www.postonbuick.com

 

Does having a 12 bolt rear end would affect the fit of a stock replacement 7/8" or 1" sway bar, or is it a non-issue?
Thanks,
Tim

 

If the 12 bolt is the same overall width of the 8.2 or 8.5 it is replacing there is no problem at all.
