Default rear anti-roll bar on '83 urQ

What's up with the small diameter rear anti-roll bar? Is there a larger one available? What do all think?

Default at least the early 83's had one...

I don't think the later 83's and on had a rear anti-roll bar.

Re: I thought it was mid 84 that the suspension was changed.

You can replace it with the front bar from an early CGT or 4k.

Default dont the tie rods get in the way? Do you use ft a-arms for the mounting holes(on a 84)?

On my 84 I was going to cut some front brackets off and weld them on the rear. It didnt look like there was room.

Default Late cars like your '84 use a very different rear suspension.

It is possible to put sway bars on those as well, but the brackets are much different.

Some people weld on the mounts or use the setup from early '90 CQs on the later cars.

On the early cars with the top of the subframe mounted tie rods and rear sway bars that clamp on to the A arms, the early CGT and 4k sway bars work. These are larger than the original ur q bars, but smaller than the fronts.

Mid '83, like the fuse box.
