Machboat Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Anyone have a F41 suspension take off for sale that they replaced with an after market suspension. The 70 MC i purchased has newer coil springs in the back and I don't think they are the correct ones. I had my front end guy (68 years old) check them out and he agreed they were almost new and that the car wallowed when he took it for a test drive. FYI I am in SE Iowa.

FWIW, Vega had chosen to be removed from our membership rolls when asked to become a full supporting member on January 20, 2023. This was his response & he has not logged in since that date: Sorry Rob, Your site is not one that draws enough attention to pay for. I will leave your site as Monte parts are not something that sells there but one air cleaner for 45.00 in the last 4 years. Good luck with your site, feel free to remove me as I won't be logging on again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Check out Ground Up aka ss396.com. They sell the f-41 boxed lower control arms and sway bar as a kit. Also, the front sway bar on a standard monte carlo is 7/8 where the F-41 front bar is 1 1/4 or 1/8. I forget at the moment but a stiffer front bar will stop the "wallow" you are describing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, it's the same bar used on the '72 Custom which came with the F41 as standard equipment. I have measured mine in the past as well, 1 1/8" Some places quote 1 1/4", but that has been proven wrong. One specific case is in the 'Chevelle SS Restoration Guide' book by Paul Herd. (I have that book, and got confused when I just read it, then more searching turned up someone else that mentioned more than a few mistakes are in that book). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Just for a visual comparison. Rusty thin one is standard bar, cast one is F-41. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 What does F-41 mean? Years ago I replaced my stock 71 350 7/8" ft anti sway bar with a 1-1/8" bar. A few years later I added the rear bar to my 71. I never did measure it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Z28 is actually the code for that particular Camaro option package, LS6 is the option code for the 454cu.in./450 hp engine, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
