Sway bar

[cwb]

Look at the pics. What should I do with this? Is it a big deal?

Thanks!

BTW, in case you can't tell from the pics, this is a SOA that was done by the P.O.

I would get it tight. Use a bolt with longer thread and put two bushings - one on each side of the sway bar end, followed by a nut, then through the bracket, then a bushing and a nut with a lock.

That set-up will break, sooner or later.

I bought all new OEM bushings from the dealer. It tightened everything back up.

That is true. Alot of SOA guys don't even bother with the sway bar.

I beg to differ. I run a SOA with front swaybar quick-disconnects, and when they swaybar is out, you can *really* feel the difference.

I'd go with what Mike said. Get it tight or else it does not do too much. Replace the bushings for good measure and make sure to keep it. Saftey as well as, I feel, road manners are at steak.

that sway bar looks... wrong. is it upside down? how is the bar that close to the frame? Can you take a front picture of it?

cwb,

sorry to revive this thread but I was wondering if you kept this set-up and if you did does it have any draw-backs. I've got a front diff cover I need to put on the front diff and need to move my sway-bar on top of my axle after I SOA it. If you could also get some pictures it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like someone heated and bent that sway bar, my links are waaay longer and im SUA. Look at the angle of the mounting hole too, its all crooked. Id ditch that peice personally.

Personally it looks like the swaybar is actually mounted on top of the axle. I have no proof, but it is just a hunch. I'm just curious, because I need to move my sway bar.
