68 Charger Front Sway Bar bent

[Glen63]

Been working on the Charger today and have noticed the front sway bar on passenger side is bent inwards by about 2 inches, causing the link arm to rub on the torsion bar.

All the rubbers could do with replacing as well, but it is a factory fitted swaybar.

Question do I see if the local blacksmiths can get it back in line, buy a new standard one from Rockautos or go for a upgrade ?

Got a pic ? Doesnt sound that big a deal unless I am missing something ?
New rubbers/mounts and a blacksmiths tweak you are done. (was on mine anyway)

Yes my first thought was just to get the local blacksmith to adjust back the couple of inches it is out.

But I presume these are tempered steel to give them some springiness , which could be lost if he heats it to bend it ?

Plus he says he is busy until after Christmas !! Have spoken to the guys at my local Land Rover place and they are happy to have a look at it, would be best to do it with a bench press, cold I think.

Speak to mr.Cannonball. He'll have dozens. You can get it shotblasted, powder coated, new set of mount bolts/rubber. Like new...
