Rear Sway Bracket Busted

[Jp-oh]

The kit isn't really a kit. I told JWE what car I had and what sway bar I was using (stock) and thats what they said I needed. The spacer is to move the mount far enough down fro the stock bar. I guess JWE makes the mount for use with aftermarket sways. If you look below I posted another pic and you can see the mount is actually on an angle tilted toward the rear of the car. Without the spacer it would not be long enough for the bar to be attached

I got my Wevo's from Steve Weiner a long long time ago.

1) If you are lucky and have a nice level surface to park on, put the car up on jacks or the wheels on ramps or blocks that allow it to sit level. ....or do what I did and put it way up in the air.

2) Grind off the undercoat and all the old bracket. The undercoat does burn if you keep your heat on it too long.

3)Again, if you are lucky, the swaybar bracket will rest in a nice neutral position right up against the car. The Wevo bracket is shaped just like the car. (The good mounting bracket on the opposite side of the car acts as a nice jig and holds the swaybar almost exactly where it belongs on the side you are working on.)

4) Assemble the bracket, rubber and strap into place. You may need to use a large clamp to assist in holding it exactly where you want it. You do not want the swaybar to have any load on it though.

5) Tack weld the bracket into place.

6) Unbolt the strap and remove the rubber.

7) Weld the crap out of the perimeter of the bracket. Do it in small sections on either side so it doesn't warp or overheat.

8) Let it cool and reassemble.

9) Use your wire brush to clean the bare metal and spray the area with bed liner, stone guard, or the matching Wurth high build of your choice.

If I can do this job, anyone can. Seriously simple even if I do say so myself.

My car has a Weltmeister Sway Bar which mounts onto the torsion tube. It seems to work fine. It clamps around the torsion tube and is not welded.

Kind of modernizes what you have.
