The other day I had to drop the gas tank for some other issues, but like everything with cruisers one issue leads to another. I had to remove the rear sway bar mounts to get the tank out and that’s when I figure out why one sway mount had a hole in it and the other didn’t. PO must have removed the mount and had issues with studs one side either spinning or stripping. They drilled a hole and replaced the original stud with a bolt (see pics). That’s all fine and dandy with me, besides maybe some lost of strength. However I have no idea how they tighten the lower bolt. I couldn’t get a wrench or socket on it. And when installing the other good mount the threads stripped.
Now I have three options, removed the studs on the other one and use bolts like the PO. Or grab some used ones from a parts rig. And option three, not install the sway bar.
Im kinda leaning toward just not running a sway bar. I drove around yesterday and honestly didn’t notice much difference.
Looking for input if the sway bars are even worth the hassle.
