Picture Needed - Stock rear sway bar

[klaird]

Could someone be so kind to snap a picture for me? Looking for a close-up of where the stock rear sway connects inside the stock tubular control arm? What all hardware is "inside" the control arms (shims/washers/bushings)?

Thanks!

This is the factory spacer that goes inside the rear lower control arm, it is there to help stiffen the control arm and keep it from being crushed when tightening the sway bar to it.
The flat shims would usually only be needed if there is still a gap when installing the rear sway bar, other than that I would use the correct length bolts( a good time to upgrade to grade 8 bolts) use washers on both ends and self locking nuts hold up well also.

Realistically these parts could be easily made if you have fabrication skills and for materials you would be probably be well under $10.

I hope that helps, like the above post says you can use tubing stock between the sides of the control arm to make the sleeves for the bolts
