I got  (by accident) the unlocking swaybar this weekend, and still did some
spinning in bigger ditches.  Having had a '69 loaf, I believe the biggest
difference has to coming from the weight (total) difference and distribution.
Anyone know the difference offhand?  By the way, does anyone know if the end
link slides over the end of the bar or must the whole she-bang be
removed/replaced?  It's hot, and I'm lazy.  P.
