Reply to "always breaking stuff"

It wasn't the studs on the sway bar, it was the sway bar itself. I used the hollow bars from Hall. It broke just outside where the the bar goes through bushings on the frame rails, not at the end and I do use sphere balls for the mount on the control arm. There was no binding. I chalked that up to poor workmanship when the spacers were spot welded to center the bar in the center bushings. That incident almost cost me the car.
Where I'm losing the parts on the back isn't the hinge on the top of the trunk but rather the push button to open the hood where it bolts into the back of the car. I'm on my third one of those this summer. I've also broken the part that bolts to the trunk it self.
The hangars for the mufflers weren't the stockers but rather some very heavy duty straps reinforced with some metal on both sides.
I think I might need to buy one of the reinforcement kits this winter. The Pantera is a 60s era design that wasn't designed for the inputs it's getting now is what might be happening. I used the car for over 2 hours on track last weekend and this is the kind of failures I'm experiencing.
