[DeTomaso] sway bar attachment points

[John Taphorn]

As they say, pic worth a 1000 words.  The overall suspension design is remarkably to the Pantera.  CV joints and a different bushing arrangement on the upper & lower hub carrier. Also same roller balls in the hub carrier.  I get your point on the sway bar.

Thanks for the effort

  There likely is not an Internet link to the Bora suspension design, it being a rather rare machine of which less than 500 were built '72-'79. The front and rear suspensions are very similar on the V-8 Bora. Not sure if the 6 cylinder Merak had the identical suspension. I scanned in a photo from one of my many Maser' books; I once had the hots for a Bora to complement our Pantera, but sanity finally returned.... 
  In the IRS photo enclosed (stripped to the Forum), #21 (swaybar) connects to #46 (lower a-arm) via the vertical link #42, along with various studs, bushings and bolts.
