1973 Delta 88 rear sway bar

Buddy of mine has a 1973 Delta 88 and is looking for a rear sway bar for his car. Does anyone know what years will interchange with a 1973 Delta, or where I might be able to direct him so he can find one?

Rear? I could be wrong, but I'd bet that's police package only.

Years would be '71 to '76 Impala, Catalina, 88/98, and LeSabre.

Let me know if you find more than one!

I have the '73 Oldsmobile chassis manual, and there is no mention of a sway bar or anything like it in the rear suspension section for the full-size cars. There is something called a "rear stabilizer shaft," but it was an option available only on the Cutlass. Interestingly, in the text they call it a stabilizer shaft. In the accompanying figure, it's referred to as a "stabilizer bar."

71-75 Riviera. A lot of those also had 3.42 gears.

I have a 71, 72 and 73 Riviera, no rear sway bars on any of them.


I have yet to see a 75 or 76 Chevrolet Caprice (Caprice not Impala) that did not have a rear sway bar.
