Were Sway Bars ever available on Sweptline 4 wheel drives?
I was eyeing an 85 Ram Charger today in the Pick-n-Pull for its disc brakes for an upcoming W200 purchase, and noticed it had a sway bar. Looked like it might be able to be adapted pretty easy.
Sway Bars on 4x4?
Hope it has the rear bar too. It will handle much better with both bars installed.

No sway bars on the W200's as far as I know. If you did a 4 link that would different and as REAL pain in the
to fabricate.

Hola Swaying Class
Just as Paul Harvey, I am about to tell my story.
About four years ago I got a 1977 SWB D100. I was going to fix it enough to sell it. Then I got interested in it and wanted to keep it. I knew nuthin of what was offered on this truck when new for I was in Germany playing Air Defense. I went to epay and got a Dealers Brochure. That also ment trips to the local pick & pull all the time, ah lookin.
It seems Dodge put a front sway bar on every 500th RWD truck. This same ratio seems to be the same for the 4x4's. I have yet to find a rear sway bar on a Dodge truck in the local pick & pull. My OEM front sway bar cost me $3.00
I got to thinkin and the next time I feel good, I'll see how the rear sway bar from a car that I have may fit. ( A conversation the same as this was on the 23rd of September with Robin from Denver. ) The rear sway bar on cars from MoPar shows up about one every two years.
I have one of those Chilton books that covers Dodge trucks from 1967 to 1988 that shows a "parts blow up" of the suspension. They show a rear sway bar. But to see or find one is like winning the loto this Saturday and that Miss USA likes my W100 too.
