Front Sway Bar
#1

So, I noticed a few days ago that my front sway bar seems to have crept a bit to the right (more of it sticking out of the end of the right side bushing than out of the left).



The car is a street/track car (coupe).



The question is do I:



a. Just replace the bushings and get it lined back up? If yes on this, stock, or not?

b. Add sway bar braces (KLA?, RS Barn?, etc)?

c. Replace both sway bars with M030 kits?



Any advice would be appreciated.

Mine did that. KLA braces stopped it.

the braces help, but even with the braces it will walk if you use the delrin bushings



without lubrication, the delrin actually was wearing from the movement, so much so, that we had to replace the bushings on ron's car - with lubrication, they really move - hence an even bigger need for the shaft collars - very cheap - very effective



you should be ok with rubber bushings though

So, just stick with rubber bushings and add shaft collars? Do you have a source you recommend for shaft collars, Flash?
