I have a “new to me” 1966 Charger I found somthing weird that the PO did. Has anyone ever seen steel plates bolted to the LC arm for attaching the sway bar? This looks sketchy to me. Any suggestions to do it correctly
That would be best but he will still need a different sway bar. The OE goes on the inside of the radius rodsSee if you can find lower control arms with tabs.
Removing and installing new bushings is one of the tougher jobs on a Mopar.
It is possible to cut the tabs off and weld them on arms with out the tabs.
They are directly above the shock mount hole
Might be ugly to you but it's a car that I wouldn't mind having....and would drive it as is so long as it ran good.I welded a flat piece of metal like that to a couple of control arms on this car:

The end links do have bushings in them though. I've driven the car on and off road since 2005, sideways drifts on dirt roads mainly. The setup has held up well. It isn't pretty or elegant but it works for a car this ugly.
I don't mind the ugly with that car. It is a lot of fun on dirt trails. The car handles great and can pitch sideways with great control. To paint it would really cut down on what fun I have with it.Might be ugly to you but it's a car that I wouldn't mind having....and would drive it as is so long as it ran good.
