I have a rear f41 swaybar im getting ready to install and all it came with was the bolts. Looks like im missing the brack/spacer. Can these bars be installed without them? Or do I need to spacers/bracket

I personally wouldn't put the sway bar on without the spacers. When you install it and tighten up the bolts it will crush in the trailing arm. Just get some appropriate sized tubing and cut it down to fit inside the arm and it will work fine.

Ideally you want something solid from side to side, laying a pipe on its side and drilling through it, it could still collapse if the wall thickness is too thin. 1/8" wall would be fine I think, or make 1 spacer per bolt out of say 1/2" pipe cut to length. It would save time drilling and the pieces can be tacked in permanetly with a welder should the sway bar need to be removed the spacers would stay put.
