1956 Chevy Nomad - A Cure For The Wandering Nomad

A quick center punch and we were ready to drill two 3/8-inch holes that will mount the sway bar to the frame.

The final piece of the performance upgrade was adding a front sway bar. Locate the bar by aligning the drop links with the front of the lower control arm, and then mark your holes on the frame.

After drilling both framerails we installed the urethane bushings on the sway bar and bolted it in place with the supplied hardware.

The loosely assembled drop links will provide the proper location for the tab that must be welded to the lower control arm.

As you can see we removed the paint to bare metal prior to welding. Note: Our tab was positioned on a slight angle to prevent unwanted binding of the drop links.

With the tab located on the control arm, our Lincoln MIG welder made short work on welding the tab in place. We welded both sides and plug welded the hole in the bracket.
