Front sway bar questions
Just pulled the front sway bar on my vette, it was bent beyond recognition. First question...Three of the four bolts holding the sway bar broke (heads twisted off) while I was removing them.. what to do??? Secondly, I am planning on buying the sway bar kit from ecklers, does anyone have any other source that they prefer??

I replaced both my front & rear sway bars on my '81 (boy, what a difference ) - it didn't even have a rear one.
I called Bobby - Parts manager - Guldstrand Motorsports - Phone: 818-558-1499 - They have parts or full replacements or kits for the rear if you don't have a rear sway bar.
Dick Guldstrand has been a famous corvette racer forever and his corvette business has been in business for 30 + years .. they really know thier stuff and are very friendly.

Hope this helps

Are the bolts stuck in the frame? If so, just use vicegrips to get them out. I actually had to use some heat as well. As far as the parts like bolts and rubber - you can get those from any Chevy dealer. The bolts I got at Lowes from the automotive fastener tray (you wouldn't thinks o but they have lots of auto fasteners) For the sway bar itself, unless you have modified other parts of you suspension stick to a stock sway bar. Everyone carries them. Might as well look at a used one. Other than bending, they don't really wear out.
