Addco sway links measurements?
Does anyone have the measurements from side to side of the Addco sway end links?
I just found out that a Trailblazer tie bar will bolt up to my Eibach rear sway on the Cav. If it's the same, that bar will work for those that have a Addco on their Beretta. I do have the GM part number and can get some pics up with one on a newer Cav.

He wants to know the width and bends of the Addco rear bar (I'm assuming rear since he mentioned the rear once)
BUT what he fails to realize is our bars don't have end links, they are just bushings.

Yeah, our torsion beam rear is a strange setup.

Re: Addco sway links measurements?
Ok, I was thinking that the Addco bolted up to the shock mount like the Eibachs do on my Cav. I have a stock bar on the Beretta so I know what it's like.
This what it would look like(the Trailblazer bar is on also and it's not my car).

Re: Addco sway links measurements?
Addco's work the same as a stock bar, but just don't go up and in the A-frame... The use the same stock end mounts as the Z51 bar, just the middle ones are different.
Beretta Addco
Mine bolts a bit different on the ends because I have a 96, and the shock mount isnt the same as the older ones, so I just had to drill a couple of holes to mount a bushing. Works perfect and is very similar to the old mount.

Re: Addco sway links measurements?
It looks as if I had that sway then I could just put a longer bolt in the back of the rear mount. Then put the tie bar on that. Though my plan on upgrading the springs and sways is on hold. I did have the thought(as said in another topic) of drilling a hole in the spring mount, but was not feeling to good about doing that. From what you have done it would be ok. But if that's how I'd have to mount the sway on my 95 then I'll have to mount the tie bar another way.My aftermarket shock mounts have a bolt to hold the shock on so I was thinking a mount like this could work.

With that mount(if it would fit) would help me put the parts that I have for the tie bar to use. Also that wouldn't add any more stress to the sway bolts.
You have been very helpful on this. I now have two possible ways to go. I will say that your set up may act almost like a tie bar. So there may not be as much of a need(more of a want for me) for one.
I may just put the Trailblazer bar on my Cav because I do have the Eibach sways on it and it has coil over shocks.
