Default Anti-sway bar

Hi guys, are there any upgrades to the anti-sway bar on a 50 Merc? I know some of the old Mopars used Sunbeam Tiger anti sway bars that were almost a direct bolt on. Anyone know of any such upgrade for the Merc. Thanks. Old guy Rich.

What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not sure what the shape of the 50 Mercs are, but you can buy anit-sway bars in about any size you would want.

JSeery, just trying to eliminate some of the leaning in turns. New shocks help but just wondering if it could be better. Thanks for you reply.

Try Jamco Parts 877 549 9551 or jancoparts.com. Just purchased a 1 1/8 dia front sway bar from them for my 51` shoebox. Haven't got it installed yet. Also have a rear sway bar installed. It is sold by Chassis engineering. Want more info, e mail me at [email protected]
