[fordor41]

when we got our '41 the f. spring shackles were almost vertical with 11 leaves. I read that Ford was trying to soften the ride with the longer shackles. the "sway" bar actually acts like a panhard bar with the way it's mounted to the king pin boss. I tried a panhard bar with the sway bar and it really rode rough. I believe the two were fighting each other. I used a modified '46 or '47 D.S. frame mount and attached other end of the sway bar to the P.S. shackle, I believe. Later Fords used sway and panhard but sway bars had links like shock links to the suspension.
