1. Front sway bar mounts - still not loosening (score: 1): Author: "Steve Shoyer" <Steve@shoyer.com>; Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 01:28:28 -0400; The bolts holding up the front sway bar are still just spinning in place. My assumption is that either 1) there's a captive nut in the chassis leg that's now freely spinning, or 2) the bolts are stri; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00229.html (8,185 bytes)

Stresses and strains actually split the subframe and set the captive nut free. Cut and weld was the only answer (remember, for me it wasn't just a loo; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00232.html (9,135 bytes)

This problem is unusual, but is probably due to the captive nuts breaking free. Probably the welder had a bad day. This is one of those times; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00255.html (9,878 bytes)

The original nuts were too rusted for the bolts to grab (from years of being exposed). I took a long drill and went up through the frame rail to; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00258.html (8,848 bytes)

RE: Front sway bar mounts - still not loosening (score: 1): Author: "Steve Shoyer" <Steve@shoyer.com>; Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2004 01:32:06 -0400; Your suggestion sounds like a good one; if I knew how to weld and had the right equipment. I keep thinking about cutting off the bolt heads, opening the end plate, fishing out the old nuts, and fabri; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00264.html (8,513 bytes)

RE: Front sway bar mounts - still not loosening (score: 1): Author: "Steve Shoyer" <Steve@shoyer.com>; Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2004 01:37:03 -0400; Thanks; this sounds like the simplest way to fix my problem. Would drilling through the top of the rail compromise its structural integrity enough to be a problem? The car's a driver, not a racer, bu; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00265.html (7,962 bytes)

RE: Front sway bar mounts - still not loosening (score: 1): Author: "Larry list account" <list@marketvalue.net>; Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2004 06:53:08 -0600; Steve replies: I don't think you need welding skills or the right equipment to do this fix. I'd suggest you do it all, but the welding. Then drive your car to a welder. If the pieces are fabricated; /html/mgs/2004-09/msg00272.html (7,957 bytes)
