In my slow quest to learn and tame the beast, I have come down to the front sway bar....
other than the fact that it is all rusted and I am scared to try to unbolt it and break something, I have decided to inspoect it closely and learn about it more (yes one piece at a time)
Now I came up with a few question that I think should be shared on this forum.
If i grab the bar with the vehicle on the ground, I can move the bar sideway about 1/2 inch. I see it sliding into the 2 "tunnel" bushings.
question 1/ is it a normal play or should I replace the bushings (I can see a couple of cracks in it)
Question 2/ any particular bushing > Is there a benefit with the so-called performance ones >
Question 3/ what size TORX bolt is it on the link ;)
