In Reply to: 7/8" bar question posted by Charlie on October 25, 1999 at 23:29:46:
Well MY '73 came with a 302 and a/c, and it had the whimpy 3/4" front bar. I got the 7/8" bar off a '76 Mav with a/c...and IF I remember right, it was a six-banger (!!!). Also, I believe those bars came standard on the '75 Grabbers...
: Was the 7/8" bar a stand-alone option? I got mine off a V8 with air car ('73), and fiqured it came with air V8 cars. Does anyone know for sure?

: : I had one on my car (15/16")...I don't reccomend it though...Doesn't fit right and a bigger bar will just increase understeer without a bigger rear bar. Go with the 7/8" bar (stock is 3/4"); that's what I have on my '73 now and it works great. It was a rare option for the Maverick and I got mine from the junkyard for $10 bucks. just had to buy new bushings & end-links...

: : : Someone on the message board was selling their 7/8" sway bar, saying that they had replaced it with a 15/16" Lincoln sway bar. Anyone know what this is off of, or how well it works?
