Swaybar Headache

[90Lx-clusive]

Ok,so while changing my worn upper conntrol arm I noticed that one end of the Swaybar was broken and causing a dumpin noise which BTW is Drivin me Crazy,so Yesterday iwent to Replace the whole bar,with new Bushings and all When, BAM when the 2 bolts from the driver side Lower Bushing(under the car) snapped and broke in the chassy of the Car!!! so I bolted everything back up minus that side and its still makin noises,What can I do?

No takers?? Can our Cars Run without um,I know my cuzn's civic dosnt have one????

I would try to weld the plate holding the bushing to the chasis before gettin rid of it, yeah you can run without it but lessens body roll and your car will prob feel goofy as they get

Yeah, iwas thinkn about that or some metal piercing screws and slide the mount over a tad??? But how Loose would it Feel and what if I take it off and use an upper sway bar instead like one that goes across the motor?

The upper sway bar acutally stiffens the body/chasis where the lower is actually connected to key suspension pieces. Honestly i dont know how it will drive without one ive never done it but its worth tryin something before gettin rid of it

The car will feel really sloppy without the front sway bar. The best thing to do is drill out the stud that's stuck in there and retap the hole.

Im not sure how it looks like but if it snapped and the screw is still in there perhaps using an extractor will get it out.

I suggest buying one (comes in a set usually) and you attach it to your power drill.

However if your not confident and risk damaging the threads or making a mess then get a machanic to extract it for you.

That way you dont make a mess and just be happy in the savings you make in fitting in the sway bar properly yourself now that the broken screws are gone.

I think hes saying the nut thats welded inside the chasis to hold the sway bar broke free. After crawling under my car, it looks like the REAL fix is to drop the crossmember and weld a new nut in.
