Anyone know offhand what the axle tube diameter is on a '72 Corporate 10 bolt 8.5" rear? I'm feeling lazy and I don't wanna measure mine...I'm looking to buy one of these down the road but for now I'd just like to add it to the wish list lol!

1972 Corporate 10 bolt axle tube diameter is 3"...just measured. Thanks for all your help lol!

 

thats quite a unit you got there Pilot and price tag to match

can you (or anyone) discuss how/why this type of mounting scheme is better than the std bolts to the ctrl arm method ? where do the end links mount ?

 

They mount to the frame of the car. It's not a typical sway bar that resist body roll. This unit REALLY RESISTS body roll. The end links mount to the frame and then the rear portion mounts to the axle tubes of the rear end.

I don't know that it's better for the street, but I've seen a lot of drag racers use them...I have seen them at car shows as well so I don't know how it affects street driving but guys are using them. We shall see
