Re: [Chrysler300] torsion bars and sway bars 300 K





Strut bars for sway bars have a square section to bolt the bar clamp to. Non sway bars are round the whole length.

Struts have no role in handling in the sense once they locate the control arm against forward impacts and to hold alignment their job is done , thick or thin ( unlike torsion bars or sway  bars ) . They are only loaded axially . But in process of changing those , new rubber bushings and realignment = May bring significant improvements . But cannot be connected to bar thickness . Just sayin

Hello,
 
I have a 1961 Newport and installed the sway bar from a 1963 New Yorker.  You must install the front strut bars also.  They are different.
I don't know how I drove the car without this for 50 years, what a difference!

Another area you may want to check are the front strut bars. I took a factory sway bar off a 62 Windsor and put it on my 62 Sport 300 which came without a sway bar. The struts in the Windsor were of a larger diameter.

I notice in the parts book that there are two different grades of torsion bars, one pair with and the other without the sway bar. I am going to be installing a sway bar on my 64 K  VC2 with the 610/611 bars.
 
Ha anyone had occasion to have installed a sway bar on anything other than the 300 K ram with the performance suspension upgrade installed? And own or driven a ram car with the with the performance suspension upgrade factory installed?  These bars are the 606/607 heavy duty. Is there a noticeable difference?
 
My front end is now apart is why I ask, so now would be the time to make any change.
 
Curios, the parts catalog shows the 606/607 heavy duty available for the 1964 Plymouth/Dodge models as well.
 
Thanks!
