  • Sway bar bolts not straight

    I had this installed by Speed Inc about 14 months ago. I just noticed this today. The nuts seem to be grabbing much more of the left side of the bracket than the right. Don't know if it was always like that, or it shifted.

    Excuse the crappy cell phone pic.

    They should be able to fix that up for you in a jiffy.


    looks like a different washer setup may be in order. Those are looking like they just a tad too small to get a good bite on the metal especially with the hole slot so large. Looks like it slipped from the indentation on one end on one of them it appears. They make a rectangular washer with teeth on it to grip better for a setup like that when u cant get a washer too large because of the curved edge of the Bracket. Or you can do what we use to do in the machine shop for other situations similar to this and cut the large washer flat on one side leaving enough beef on the sidewall of the washer to hold it togethor. Thats just my opinion of course. I could be wrong.

    They should be able to fix that up for you in a jiffy though.
