72 CS Installing a rear sway bar and lower control arms

Going to up grade the rear end with a new sway bar. I bought the the lower control arm box pieces to weld in. Has anyone had any problems?

You may/may not need shims between the bar and the control arm. Kind of a case-by-case issue. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/o...+5ba28fb7a12a5

Insanely-high priced.

Pretty straightforward install, just make sure you fully tighten one side before you move to the other side...trust me, I know.
