and here I was thinking I was the last person on earth to join facebook.

 

here's my text  and pics from the 54,55,56 Buick Enthusiasts FB group

 

So while 54Muscle was in the barn and up on stands for a brake job, I swapped out this HD 1" thick anti-sway bar. Unbelievable the difference it makes in roll and lean in curves and cornering. Took about an hour to install but would be quicker with a helper. Bought this one a couple years ago from my friend Brad who has them made up periodically and I think he just had more made. Email him at brad56@windstream.net Put swaybar in the subject as he also runs the

. I have no affiliation with the sell of these, just think they're an awesome way to improve the ride in our 54,5,6 B's.

Will these fit the full size Buick’s? I called Quickor last year, right after COVID hit, and the old guy who answered implied that they would only fit the mid-size: Century and Special. He was supposed to call me back, but he never did

Anyone with a '54-'56 Buick knows two things: They came from the factory with a front sway bar, and the front sway bar is a Tinker Toy.

Stock bars are .69-inch diameter, with a 113lb/ft spring rate.

Wanting something that kept me in the seat around corners, I started manufacturing 1.00-inch bars for these cars, with a 500 lb/ft spring rate. I could have gone up in diameter, but 1.125-inch bumps it up to an 800-lb spring rate, which I thought was too stiff for our Buicks.

These are true bolt-ins, attaching to the frame and control arms with the factory mounting points. It'll take you longer to get the tools out and get the car up on jack stands than it'll take to install the new sway bar.

My sway bar kits include a sway bar powder-coated black powder-coated to modern OE specs and standards, black urethane bushings, and all new plated hardware.

These bars are proudly made in America to modern OE specifications.

$219, plus shipping.

For more info, send me an email at brad56@windstream.net, or call (706) 424-5035.
