ADDCO 130 Front Sway Bar

[Tim Tucker]

Has anyone ever bought an ADDCO 130 sway bar? I just got mine from TRF and am very confused. I see no way this will fit. It is too narrow and not deep enough from bar to mounting holes. Any help or opinions are welcome. FWIW, The mounts and endlinks look workable. Thanks for all responses.

Picture of Bar I just received (33" from hole-hole; 5" deep):

Instruction sheet I just received says ADDCO130 on it and talks about installation on a TR250 and TR6???:

Here is what I found over the years on the web concerning an ADDCO bar and TR4s:

The ADDCO128 looks correct (at the least the instructions do):

MANY THANKS!!

I think you have the wrong one. I just went out and measured mine (addco) and it is 29" hole to hole and about 9" deep and it is bent almost 90 degrees. My instructions look like the 128 sheet you have. I hope that it helps.

Thanks for your effort!!! 9" and bent at a 90 gives a lot longer mid section. That would allow mounting to the bumper support brackets that are ~27" apart. This bar's mid section is ~19". Again, Thanks!

Thanks for asking this question. My ADDCO sway bar didn't come with directions so I've held off on installing it on my TR4.

130 is the bar listed in the ADDCO catalog for the front of a TR4; but that sure doesn't look right to me. I would suggest calling the folks at ADDCO and asking. The bar they shipped me for the rear of my TR3A many years ago just did not fit as designed; and they fairly quickly sent me some different brackets (for free) that made it work. The bar also had to be tweaked a bit, which they told me how to do.

130 Sounds right for a TR4 kit, but that is not a TR4 bar - the TR4 bar arms are bent closer to 90 degrees and I think are a little deeper.

Also doesn't look like the right bar for a TR6, either, based on the kit Jegs shows:

TRF is on-board with this being the wrong bar. Thanks for all of the input. I especially like the picture of the nice bar...I'll make sure I specify SWAY next time... Again thanks for the responses.
