Default Re: Stabilizer Bar Links, Horizontal Critical.

There is something wrong with the front end set-up. It's just a new finding on the road straightening out other owners wrenchin'. Or Factory.
The original sway bar was canted backwards. Either the welded in nuts that hold the bar by brackets are in the wrong place or the eyelet on the lower A arm is wrong. See attached photo of original links.
I disconnected the bar brackets and bolted in the links horizontally, the stiff bushings held the position. The sway bar mounts need to move almost an inch forward. The split frame rail at the front xmember is touching the sway bar in this new position.
I cannot do this repair in my driveway for the welded in nuts interfere with the new drill hole position.
Oh yes Happy New Year all, dinner and comedy show tonight!
