Kanter front sway bar

[racerx20]

Anyone use this Kanter front sway bar? Looking for a 1 1/8” front bar to replace the OEM bar on the front of my 72 RR. Looking for direct fit into the OEM location and this one states it is. Not wanting to spend the $500 on a Firm Feel or Hellwig bar.

It’s an Addco sway bar repackaged/private label deal.
Shop around, you might be able to find it for less.
Hellwig has little better attachment brackets

The 70-72 B and 70-74 E sway bars are fairly simple straightforward attachment style. So not such a big deal.

Now on a 66-69 B style, the attachment brackets are a bigger deal.

made by Addco, put in PST box.

Old Mopar Performance sway bars years ago were same thing.

Go to ADDCO website to get an idea of what pricing should be. Most all front and rear sway bars are going to be ADDCO wherever you shop. Peter Bergman at Bergman Auto is a sponsor of ours and he can get you one and usually will try and price match competition. Even if Peter price is a few dollars more I still go with him because he always does me right.

Actually there are other major manufacturers of sway bars.

Hellwig makes and designs their own stuff. They have many Mopar sway bars

Sway A Way does too. But they are mostly private label. I think they may have made them for Hotchkis when both were in SoCal. Either they build to a customers design or they design for customer. I have interviewed for a job there and saw all their manufacturing.

Hotchkis had them made for them. But I believe when they moved to NC they do more manufacturing in house, so they may do their own now. They used to just design and prototype in-house when they test fit on my Barracuda.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Addco made private label sway bars for people too

I’ve heard Firm Feel does also.

I’m sure there are other manufacturers. The equipment is not terribly complex, expensive nor space consuming.

That’s not correct.

I stand corrected. I do know for sure that for 1972 and beyond your choices for Mopar B Bodies is severely limited to ADDCO and Firm Feel.

Bergman sway bars are not made by Addco. They do not have an Addco design.

I recognize some of his part catalog from more than one manufacturer I listed above.

Correct.

Sway A Way used to be the only one that made off the shelf torsion bars for those 1973-up B-bodies.

Bergman can get Addco sway bars. I didn’t say that theirs for 72 and below are Addco.

 

[RR Fan Dan]

Correct.

Bergman makes torsion bars for 72 and up. I just bought from him.
