I have tried an airbag in my 64 Malibu bracket car, and it seemed like a band-aid fix. I had to add so much air that the right rear corner sat up a bunch. The body still wanted to roll over and hike the left front-just not as bad as without the bag.

I think the true fix is an anti-roll bar. Wolfe racecraft makes a nice one. It is more costly, but it will correct the inherent problem with a stock 4-link set up.

An airbag is much cheaper and easier to install, so you may well want to try that first. If the problem persists, go with the anti-roll bar.

Hope this helps.
