hmm, looks like they were bolted on before.
They should be welded?

Does anyone have the Weltmeister instruction sheet they could scan and post?

oh, i tought those bolts were for the drop-links ...
never seen them bolted, always welded on ...

I just read Wayne's "Installing A Front Sway Bar" article. They bolted it to the a arm.
They did do some welding on the rear install, though. HMM, once the car gets here I might
be able to justify the purchase of a Miller MIG.

Mine are welded on also. Those bolts look like the lower drop link bolt.

Posted by: seanery Sep 17 2003, 10:59 PM

they look a little too long for the drop links.

Chris, did your car have factory bars?

This is Wayne's pic. You can see the nyloc on the bottom of the a arm.

Those are Weltmeister u-brackets. They are intended to be bolted on. I've seen them rotate and bind up. I recomend welding.

Yea, my car had factory bars. Those pics do look like they are bolted on.

Bolt on now, weld later....that's what I'm doing (no trouble yet, but I've only been on the road again for 5 months....)

Send them to me and I will buzz them on for you.

Weld them on. Bolting them to the a-arm is a crappy solution IMO

cheers,

Jeroen

Always weld it. That's my policy!
