Good evening all,
Question re 1972 P1800 ES.
It has a rear swaybar; I'm uncertain if this is standard or not? The right side (passenger side) anchor that the sway bar attached to is missing on this car. (The sway bar link is taped up and out of the way) There is a relatively small hole in the body where the anchor was attached. Enclosed below is a photo of the exterior and interior anchor sway bar anchors for the left side ( driver side).
Seeking advice: suggestions for sourcing the anchor parts? Is it worth having the anchors made/replicated? Should I just take the sway bar off and call it a day?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions!

I couldn't find either of the photo links--but in any case--the rear sway bar is an aftermarket add-on. Unless you do "extreme" driving on the street or occasional "track days" it is entirely unnecessary. If the previous owner changed one thing, maybe other parts too? You my want to check the front bar's diameter to determine if it is original and the springs as well (possible lowering/sport springs). -- Dave

Thank you Dave,

I thought it was aftermarket; I do not do any extreme street or track driving w this car; I'm working to get it to be a reliable secondary 'driver'.
Sorry about the photo's , it turned ou that they were larger than brickboard accommodates.

I posted this earlier. I just happened on it.
you many want to mine it for the Green Books that are linked there.
a quick scan brings up some 1800 links
