Sway Bars Install and the Squirells Stash
Got through the sway bar install this morning at 12:30
 Whew, t'was quite the experience and I'll know if I did everything right shortly! The big surprise was when I took out the tank  Kept hearing strange rollings whilst doing sharp turns... Hmmmmmmm, wonder why  bruce

Yea, but those nuts were adding ballast, so your handling might be off!

how did you know where to drill the holes in the body for the sway bar? is there some kind of "boss" put in by the factory? (like the passenger side mirror nuts). what was the gas tank removal like? the reason i ask is this may be a winter project.

There is an area behind the tires on the chassis that is recessed and round where the stock sway bar wnt through this is the area to drill.
