sway bar mounts
 
has any one had a sway bar mount / bracket break ????


one of my rear sway bar brackets broke off .... leaving only one holding the sway bar on to the chassis


:(

Yup! broke the passenger rear bracket once and broke the same side endlink bolt. The bolt may have tightened too much...:rolleyes:

i bet your first clue was the scape, scrape around corners, or a loud PING when going slowly over speed bumps ad such :D and of course sloppy handling.....

i found out that bf 323 mounts are too weak as well .....
put one on as a tempoary fix ...... broke it within 2 km !!!!!!


went and got another proper one today :)

i have been looking for some decent mounting brackets, they got any for the BG? Polyurathane i hope :D

Hey Jesse, as i know your lurking, Mr 305 posts!!!!, do you know if Gary's sway bar has brackets w/poly bushings as well as poly endlinks?

as far as im aware you use the same bracket ... but change the bushing

I really tightened my bolts down for the endlinks, hope i dont have one snap.

But what about the brackets and bushings? the "U" ones that mount to the cross member. does it come with those as well?
