Reply to "So much preload in rear sway bar I can't get the brackets back on."

The longer bolts worked for me. I have the larger rear GTS bar in the rear.

Bosswrench once posted that if you use the larger bar you HAVE to use the ball mounts to keep from tearing the bar mounts loose.

That is something I still need to do. I'd like to hear more about needing to "clearance" things in the rear before I do it.



Here's a question on that subject though that I need to ask while everyone here is paying attention.

If I put calipers on my rear bar, it measures .900". That's not one inch and it doesn't translate to metric evenly. This was a bar from Hall.

The ball kits available are 3/4", 7/8" and 1". Do I get a 7/8" and machine the ball out to match? I presume that the balls are Delrin?



If that ball bracket is too high and will make the bar interfere with the axles, can it be milled down for clearance?
