Front sway bar parts -, Mounting plates question Options

[seanpaulmc]

1/17/2021 - resurrecting to ask new question.

Had the fuel tank out to replace the fuel line in the tunnel. From that I could see the front sway bar. Interestingly, the passenger side was connected and the driver side is not connected. In a box of parts that was with the car I found the drop link for the driver's side. It, however, is missing the cap and bolts to attach it to the bar. Does anyone know where I can get the piece to fit this part? Size of the bolts? Thank you.

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies.
I’m still at it. In fact, I’ve removed all the front sway at components. Parts are all separated and hardware is getting a good soak.
I agree that the sheet metal where these brackets were attached needs to be reinforced now that it’s all disassemble.

I’ve been following the other recent thread where someone was asking about ARB sizing and the suspension setup discussions there.

Where could I possibly source replacement rubber bushings for the drop links? They are not quite the same size as stock, a little bigger by comparison to the 914Rubber aftermarket split version.

I have not driven this car so I cannot comment on the feel or amount of presumable understeer. For now I’ll use what I have and get reassembled with a short term goal of making the car move under its own power. Tuning and improvements can come later.

Here is a comparison picture against the 914Rubber bushings.






By the way, these two may look decent in the picture the others are shot.

Thanks
