And now I have come to the front sway bar...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.... ==AM== If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, I've often resorted to jamming a very large screwdriver blade in to hold that "hex" piece. ==AM== 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. ==AM== Might work. On the other hand, I've seen more than a few of these broken completely off the frame, so.... :-( ==AM== 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? ==AM== I think that's about right. But most original ones for the US market had extra loops in them for purposes of securing tie-downs (and making for a handy place to put the one end of a tow rope for emergencies). I've seen that style on eBay once or twice (sorry, I do NOT remember the seller's ID), but most vendors just seem to sell what is essentially the "U" bolt. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
