Sway Bar Install
I've read the write ups for sway bar install but just have one question. After knocking out the rivet, see photo and mocking up the bracket, I do not see another hole on the frame for the second hole. Do I need to drill this out? Is this the right location? Last question, which bushings work best, urethane or other?

Re: Sway Bar Install
Thanks, I went through TX firefighters write up where he shows removal of the rivet, just not sure about the second hole. I'll mock up with the a-arm brackets in place and see where I need to mount the frame mounts.

Re: Sway Bar Install
Thanks for the help. I will get started. Good thing I didn't remove the rivet. I'll let you know how it works out.

Re: Sway Bar Install
Hey also don't forget to mock it up with the bar loosely installed on the a arms so your geometry is correct. I had all of mine put together so I could use a floor jack and push the bar up to mark my drill holes on the frame.
