    I *think* that is what's on the green car (I got it second hand, but I'm pretty sure it's originally from TPP). Fit up fine and tightened up sway nicely. Do yourself a favor and if you're going to upgrade to a big front bar, add a rear sway bar if you don't already have one. The combo of the two makes a HUGE difference on how these cars handle.

    would love to do rear as well. I will not be racing this car as it is a weekend cruise. I just want to upgrade but not go crazy. I don't need Hotchkiss level performance. if anyone has recommendations for front and rear sway bars that are economical, please let me know.

    Look this website over. I have found their sway bar deals to be the best. I have used their 1.25" front and 1" rear on a couple cars. They fit perfect and look like the factory parts look. You can get their "kits" and get everything you need to do the job. You will need to box your rear lower control arms but don't let that be a big deal for you. If you can weld do it yourself, if not have someone you know do it and do them on the car. Just take it easy and take your time. I do them on the car and I am not even a half a_ _ed welder. I think their prices are great and as I said the parts look correct which I really like.

    You can make these cars handle pretty good for not much. A set of tall upper ball joint from ProForged, all the positive caster you can get and urethane bushings for your front sway bar and a rear sway bar.

    Hello, do these sway bar fits on a 1967 Wildcat

    I don't think the factory style A-body rear sway bar will fit the Wildcat.

    So that big bar on the front with no rear bar will induce understeer - and it might be pretty severe. F41 cars tend towards oversteer (the tail is loose). My experience with F41 cars has been that the 1.25 inch front bar combined with the stock 7/8ths or 15/16ths rear bar makes the car more neutral, which is very nice if you like to direct the car with the throttle. Keep all of this in mind for the sake of your own safety.

    All these cars were built to have under steer from the factory as it was presumed to be safer than over steer. Not just the sway bars but the whole front end geometry was engineered to be terribly easy to under steer.

    Pretty easy to correct with just a few after market parts.
