I recently busted both rusty bolt's on my front sway bar. I just swung it forward and tie it up out of the way until I can get it fixed. Now I don't know what goes where. I'm guessing the boltpoint's up from the bottom. The sway bar would go between the more tapered end of the bushing's. I'm not sure where the spacer goes. Take a look at the pic. Do I have it right. Better yet, anyone have a diagram or even a pic. Thank's.


Well I tried to fix the pic to get rid of the red x. Now I can't re-load it. It's telling me file is too big. It's the same file. What am I doing wrong. Also, when I edited my post, I got alot of apostrifie's.

Here's a pic of mine still connected. Pardon the colored boxes...pic was for another post

 

Wow that was fast.

I don't see a spacer on your's. Am I supposed to use it. Would it go in the middle like in my pic. Thank's.

 

Not entirely sure on that one...I would imagine the actual links go between the blue pieces..but again..no expert on the sway bars...just had that pic lying around

 

yes use the spacers-refer to the pic that was posted and it'll make sense. jp[:-]

 

If it is like most aftermarket replacements, you will have 4 bushings with one end tapered down a bit, 4 cupped washers, a spacer, a bolt, and a self locking nut for each side. If that is the case, you will bolt it together as follows...

Washer on bolt, cupped end up. Bushing, tapered end up. Bolt through control arm. Bushing, tapered end down. Washer, cupped end down. Spacer. Washer, cupped end up. Bushing, tapered end up. Sway bar. Bushing, tapered end down. Washer, cupped end down. Nut.

Leave loose while assembling the other side.

In the picture that was posted above, the spacer is the plastic peice in the middle so there are no additional washers for the middle of the endlink.
