Anybody ever installed a sway bar in the rear of a B210---120Y coupe ? I would appreciate some
input on the matter. Thanks.

The best thing you can do is put a Panhard rod on there - or A-frame it. The sway bar is of limited use on
a live rear.

Or a watts linkage. Old British Rover 3500 (SD1) have a good setup you can use ...if
you can find one. Eddie

Hy and thanks for your comment on the koni's,it feels good to know i did a good move,and about the A frame,or panhard rod,do you know any sources for the part? I would like to get
one ,and to be honest,I do not know how they look like. Thanks.

Finding a British Rover 3500(SD1)in the US is like finding a russian brabant in Bolivia,I do not expect that to happen,unfortunately.Anyways
I will ask around. Thanks.

Hehehe... I know they were sold there but I doubt they were very popular
 A panhard rod is relatively easy to make but a watts linkage is much harder although it does the job better than a panhard rod. I can scan some diagrams of the various set-ups if you want. Eddie

It's probably easier to make your own. All the A-frame or the Panhard will do is stop your rear end moving sideways under cornering forces. To be honest unless you are racing I would
stick with the flat springs and Koni's at the moment. You will be driving very hard to have problems with that set-up - and you can add the other bits on later if you need them. There is a guy here who does some racing in his B110 coupe - putting out around 300 hp - and I believe he has no rear locating bars and still kicks booty.

Teretonga. I do not have 300HP as of yet,although the time will come when I will add a substantial amount into my Datsun.I am finding out,and as soon as I install the konis I
will post the results of the test drive. Thanks and have fun.

Jaime,
Instead of scanning a few pics I have scanned a whole section on live rear axles from a book on chassis design and uploaded it to my webspace so you can read it. You can find it here... http://www.ratdat.com/chassis/index.htm Hope this helps... Eddie
