Does anyone know a source for a Rear Sway Bar for a 56 Fairlane?

I have tried several sources and I can find Mercury Sway Bars but nothing for a 56 Fairlane!

Is there a another bar that can be made to work?

Since a 57 Ford 9 in Rear end will fit a 56, will that sway bar work?

try Thunderbirds Southwest in LaGrange Texas

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Let me ammend the question;

Does anyone out there have a 55/56 Fairlane with a Rear sway bar?

If so, do you know if it is OEM, Aftermarket or one adapted from a different type of car?

Front Sway bars are easy to find.

I send emails to the two recommended sources.

I have new rear springs, but the car still has a lot of body lean on corners, not unsafe, but I would like a more stable car.

Thanks in advance.

Marty,

Passanger cars never came with rear sway bars (as far as I know), not sure about Birds or wagons. I know there was a great article in Legendary Ford a while back about putting a front/rear sway bar kit in a 57 T-Bird. In the article it shows before and after pic's........what a difference in body roll!

I have a '57 9" rear end in my '55 Crown and I have a sway bar from Thunderbirds of the Southwest.  I also installed new rear springs from Posies and new gas shocks.  My Ford corners like my Firebird!    

Mine is an after market unit from the afore mentioned Southwest Thunderbirds

my '56 Crown Vic has a rear sway bar that I got from Quickor Suspension. I am not sure they still exist since my internet searches haven't turned up the old website....I noticed much improved handling and way less "roll" goin down the freeway. It's an improvement worth doing for my 2cents

you may want measure up a late 70s or early 80s trans am  , they had a pretty easy to mount sway bar set for the rear, easy to come by.   I also used a pretty fat front sway from 69 gto on my 57 ford ,a little angle iron, some nice bushings , I was good to go !

Southwest Thunderbird has sway bars for the 56 Fairlane, they are reluctant to sell just the rear, they claim it caused the handling to be squirrley.  A set of front & rear are right at $400 with shipping.

Thanks for the tip.
