I didn't like how the new sway bar mounted to the frame. With the bigger bar the brackets and bushings did not line up very well. I also thought that some spirited driving might pull the small bolts out of the threaded frame holes. I ended up using one of the original holes and drilling a new one. I also went up one bolt size. This is what I ended up with. I took a grade eight bolt and welded on a tab. I then dropped the bolt through the hole inside the frame. The tab hits the frame and keeps it from spinning. I decided I wanted the front bushings to have grease zerks to help with any possible squeaking. I drilled holes and tapped them for the new fittings.
