Sway bar ID please
I have 2 sway bars that are supposed to from '68-'72 Chevelle with F41. Except they are different diameter.
1) measures 59/64ths and has 1 square end. Is this considered a 15/16ths bar ? And does the square end indicate a specific application ? 2) measures 31/32nds and has a round end with a nipple. I'm thinking this is considered a 1" bar, and does the nipple end indicate a specific application ? I have a fellow member in the Chevelle Club wanting to buy one of them, but I'd like to know what they were originally for/from before deciding which one to sell him. I went out to the storage shed and climbed up to the '70 SS with original bar. That is 1 1/8th diameter, so neither of the other 2 are for F41. It does have the same shape and square end as the 15/16ths bar I have, so I'm thinking that will fit his Chevelle. Thanks SYC experts !! .

The original sway bars I have seen on 68-72 chevelles have one square end and one round end-the 15/16 were on the 70 malibu-non ss-as 1 1/8" were on 70 ss cars-the 1 " were on 71/72 chevelle ss cars-as I had a 71 ss 350 car with the 1" sway bar-
Keep on Cruising!!! Dave |

My 3 cars with original bars:
68 SS396 15/16 round/round 69 SS396 15/16 square/round 70 Malibu 350 15/16 square/round The one with round on both ends could be correct for your 66 SS396? |

That one is 1", so I don't think so. The ends are also a different shape from the square end bars. Don't recall what I have on the '66 now ?
