Hey guys, i would like to know if the bug back rear sway bar will fit a 55 swing axle.

Obviously the 55's got a swing axle but since its an older one i was not sure if it would still work.

Also is it a bolt on piece like the front or is there any type of work needed to install the rear sway

thanks

Most rear sway bars are made for IRS but there are a few sway bars made for swing axle (you have to check the part # to know for sure) . A sway bar is not a good idea on the rear of a swing axle car in most applications (I autocross my swing axle car , so I went with Whiteline adjustable sway bars , not a normal application), a camber compensator is a much better choice for a street car .

thank you for the reply, do you know if you can run both the camber comp and the rear sway?

No , one or the other . If you go with a sway bar not a camber compensator , make sure you have a front sway bar too , or it won't be real safe to drive . TROY
