I don't like the power steering lines rubbing on the sway bar.

I didn't know sway bars would move side to side like that.

Unless that car was originally a carbureted car, maybe, but I believe the fuel lines run along the passenger side frame rails and come up at the firewall by the passenger side hood hinge. That's where they are on our 86 SVO, anyway. But if they aren't fuel lines, I don't know what they may be, as all the power steering lines are all on the driver's side or running along the rack. Either way, the fact that they are rubbing on the sway bar and those wonderfully-temporary-looking connections are definitely the subject of concern.

I would bet (hope) the lines got rerouted after the owners reviewed that video. I know I would.

I wonder if the bar would still move from side to side like that if it were actually parallel to the ground where it bolts to the frame vs. the loop that it is there. I bet that has something to do with all that movement.
