Rear control arm bushings

Honestly, I completely forgot about their bar! Last fox I did, we used the stock ARB mounting points on the LCA's and made our own splined bar mounts to swap out bars of different thicknesses.

In that case, your idea would work quite well. The johnny joints are definitely nice. Have used them on a couple different things with good results. Got ours from Ballistic Fabrication. Instead of a snap ring they use a threaded retainer for the race so the joint can be tightened as it wears.

Nice, I might have to check those out.

You have a pic of the roll bar you're referring to?

Merritt, sorry it took so long to get back with you. Havent been on all weekend and its been a weird one. I looked all over to see if I had any pictures of the ARB setup we did, and couldn't find any. Honestly I'd have to say having installed an MM rear bad as well, that would be the way I'd recommend anyway, as it was a well thought out bar. I like their adjustment method as it has a lot of adjustability, and there are mounting holes for the end link on both the bracket that bolts to the frame rails as well as the rear axle, allowing the end links to stay vertical regardless of which position it is in. Depending on your panhard bar design I suppose there could be some interference, but I dont think thats something that would stop someone like you.

The bar we did was neat since it did allow bars to of different thicknesses to be changed out, but Im not sure it was necessary to have that much adjustment. If you want to try something like that though, check out Evilbay for used NASCAR bar setups. Just search nascar rear sway bar, and you'll usually find several mulit-bar setups with levers, end links, and a few bars. The big unknown is whether or not any of the bars will be light enough or stiff enough.

Just did a quick search myself and there were several. I didn’t look at all of them, but one did have multiple holes on the lever, as well as a .5” small diameter bar and almost a 1” large diameter bar, and 24” long making it a good candidate. Some tinkering finding the right one would definitely need to happen. I don’t know the diameter of the MM bar, but the levers are pretty long, so it doesn’t seem like they want a ton of rear bar.
