And now I have come to the front sway bar. I removed most of it with some effort. But the driver side link(the thing with the ball at the end of it) won't come loose with the nut/stud/nut arrangement. It freely turns. The mounting to the wishbone has 2 plates over it that won't let me get a wrench in there to hold it as I undo the nyloc nut. Sadly, the small rubber bushing(that looks like one you'd stick in a brake MC) has worn away.
Any way around this? My only idea was to stick a c-clamp around it, other side being the "lip" of the wishbone, and trying to unscrew it from there. Interesting observations: 1. My left mounting plate for the bushings is twisted at the free end. Front part is too high, rear part too low. How hard would it be to bend this back? I was thinking of mounting a super-big nut&bolt, and using a cheater bar to bend it back, with what little clearance I have. 2. The u-bolts holding the bushings on aren't like the ones I see in the catalog. INstead of a semicircle bottom, it's moreso U shaped with one side being about 70 degrees, the other at 110 degrees, with roundish corners. Is that OEM? Thankfully the rubber bushings are okay, for I didn't order replacements for that. Heh, nice untouched by nature part of the plate is a prefect body color yellow. Your messages not reaching the list?
