Reply to "Rear Sway Bar Braket Nuts Stripped?"

bosswrenchMember

Other owners in the past have bored 1" holes thru the back of the crossmember for socket wrench access, knocked the weld-studs out and simply used grade-5 or grade-8 bolts and nuts. While the fix with holes might be quicker and simpler, your fix likely stiffens up this area. The stock setup is flexible- enough that mounting a 1" OD solid swaybar may give you LESS cornering power than with a 7/8" bar, due to the crossmember & frame stubs flexing. Good work!
