It wasn't the studs on the sway bar, it was the sway bar itself. I used the hollow bars from Hall.


Ah, that explains some of it....I've heard of a number of failure's on these. The hollow sway bars are junk, get a 7/8" solid one and a pair of the ball ends.

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.


This is still a lot of movememnt back there to be breaking decklid catches at that rate. Do you have the early design or late? Talk to Larry Finch on a pin solution that is neat and unobtrusive.

Do you have a stock camber bar or aftermarket? Whichever make sure it is long enough to but against the rear of the shock mounts each side, not just bolt in the holes.

When checking for rust is your guy just visually checking or prodding with a sharp object? I didn't discover my rear frame had rot until I went to drill the drain holes and started really poking around.

A few hours on the track is soon going to shake down the weak points.
