General Buick Tech / Re: Front Swaybar Removal

« on: April 04 2018, 06:25:40 AM »

I picked up some hollow fronts and will try these and a stock rear bar to see what the car likes. The plan is to find some used ATR bars up here and give that a try down the road. I believe the HR bar is the best but want to keep a stock look to the car. I think new Mickies are in the budget for this year also.

Many myths and shoulda ,woulda, coulda's  were put to bed lately! Some people will just never listen. I am a believer. This Russ character could tune a wheel barrow. The only thing I cant believe is some grumpy old guy bought a FAST system........ ..........what is the world coming to?

I like to have material to review and compare stuff. I am knee deep in these things and just want the info. I have the CK book also. Thanks for the view and I found a hard copy. Have a great week to all my Buick buddies.

I love my ATI Converter and wouldn't change it for anything else....

Do I know you? Merry Christmas to my friend/engine builder/head porter. He's the best kept secret in the Buick community.

Secrets out !

General Buick Tech / Re: 34mm (3rd Gen F41) hollow front sway bar fit with Precision SLIC ?

« on: February 02 2018, 08:30:20 AM »

I did have to get rid of my extra "A" shape bolt on bars as the pass side bar won't clear the Precision.

I took my right bar to a chassis shop and bent it slightly and it fit right in with existing holes.

The Precision SLIC is a decent unit , no issues with it or its fit.
However the larger 34MM sway bar will most likely be coming off and for sale.   
It's like brand new.......just been powder coated and comes with new polygrahpite bushings as well.


Looks like it would work with a stock intercooler of FMIC.


Open to offers.




The stock bar is 33 so I am thinking you can make it work. I am looking into the moog stock bar to frame busings to see how much that will change. Not giving up yet.

I know I had to trim the edge on my old BG customs and am curious to this because I purchased some hollow sway bars for my junk as a winter keep me in the shop project.

For Sale/Trade/Want To Buy / Re: 87 Buick Turbo T Limited 4 sale

« on: September 30 2017, 09:08:53 AM »

I am happy to say the car is sold and will stay local to a first time TB owner. The gentleman does own a 72 Buick 455 and is a real good " car guy" ! I think I grew the TB family with another great member, he will take this car to the next level . This is another car that in the wrong hands could have rotted out in a barn.

 Thanks again
