I have been hearing about the front sway bar to frame brackets breaking sometimes. I have a rattle in front of my car which I suspect might be just that.
While at my pull-a-part this morning, I went to get the ones they had available (’88 5th Ave and from ’80 Aspen wagon), as spares.
The R/F bracket was broken on the 5th Ave (nut just spins and bracket is a flopping around. The L/F bracket was ok.
On the Aspen, the R/F bracket was bent (you could see it) and I couldn’t get the nut off (kinda in a hard to get to location) – so I left it. The L/F bracket came off ok.
The bushings were ready to fall off of, on both cars.
My question is: does anyone make replacement brackets for these?
Or even better, an heavy duty version?
