‘46 Ford and Merc swaybar link question
I’m doing ‘46 Mercury and I’ve looked at several local cars to see how the sway bar is oriented at the links to the front axle. Some cars have the sway bar ends above the axle, with the links vertical “down” to the axle/wishbone. In this setup, the sway bar is horizontal, and it has only about 1/2” clearance below the shock. This clearance seems problematic. Other cars I’ve looked at have the sway bar angled down and the connecting links angle down below the point where they attach to the axle/wishbone assy. This setup looks like there would be no possible interference with the Houdaille shocks. Hope my descriptions make sense. Which setup is correct? Thanks
