Final Score 4-4 (swaybar woes)

Post by CoupeFan »

In celebration of my new wheels I decided to check the front end of the car. I discovered a swaybar bushing was squirting out. So I unbolted the swaybar and decided to reassemble it. That's when I started breaking bolts. So far, two outer and two inner bolts are broken. I'm a little worried about the inner bolts since those are boxed in. Any good repair schemes out there for these? Of course Mark's wheels are going to be here on Monday and I already have the tires picked out...bad timing.

Cheers,

Cesare

I'm thinking two choices.....grind flush and drill new holes for strong bolts or grind and weld new studs...
