sway bar bracket question

[Papageof]

On the front s/b should there be something between the frame and the rubber? You know to take up the space from the drop. If so, can you get new ones? Cuz, mine aint there. I don't see any way for the sway bar to be kept in place and not hit the frame.

Are you talking about the 2 tabs that are on the frame in the engine bay for the front sway bar?

okay, you know how the sway bar is dropped from the frame about 3/8"? Is there supposed to be something there to hold the bushing from rising to hit the frame?

that is what Rick is talkin about. look above the anti sway bar on the "side" frame rails (the longitudinal lateral extension of the shock towers. i know there is a better way to describe it. im too tired). you should see two bolts per side. the bracket goes there, as i recall (too many cars). there is a piece-of-poo-plastic bracket on top of the frame rail that secures the nuts for the bolts and bracket. i ditched the plastic deal, as my nuts were spinnin (laugh all you want at my syntax). real pain to access from the top. make sense? look in your repair manual. should show pics.

the bars are secured there and at the end links.
cool? good luck.
