I have read in the past on this site, that 82-92 F body front anti-sway bars will fit on 5th gen Elcos. I pulled a front sway bar off of a WS6 Firebird at the junkyard in hopes of improving the cornering of my '80 V6 Elco. Upon attempting to install it, I found that the holes that mount the sway bar did not match up with the holes in the frame. It didn't seem to matter how I moved it around, it just didn't match up. Am I missing something here? Do the 82-92 F body sway bars actually mount up on the 5th gen Elcos? Is there some other mount I am suppose to use in order to make it work? Any and all help is appreciated!

It sounds like you're trying to use the F-body bushing brackets. You'll need to use the G-body brackets with larger inner diameter bushings that match the outside diameter of the sway bar. BTDT

That's exactly what I was trying to do, and now I know it was the wrong thing to do.

If I remove the brackets from my stock sway bar (keep in mind that it is a V6 car with a tiny sway bar) can I simply place them over the rubber bushings that came on the larger diameter WS6 sway bar? Or..., do I need to buy separate brackets in order to install it?

Yes, the F-Body rubber bushings will fit in the G-body brackets.

Thanks for the help Ernie!

Before I saw your last post I went ahead and tried swapping the brackets. The brackets went onto the WS6 sway bar bushings without too much trouble, but getting the mounting holes to line up with the larger bushing in place, took some work. I finally got it all bolted up and test drove it. The car rides much flatter in the turns, and I found myself driving faster and faster through each turn.

All in all, the car sticks to the road better now with less diving to either side in the turns. It makes the driver (me) feel more confident in the turns and in the event I have to make an emergency maneuver.
