I just looked at an installation documented by a member (ORANGE914) titled "front sway bar install" and have two questions. Once the bar is installed (whether it be a stock bar or a Weltmeister) how easy should it be to rotate the bar by hand via the drop links? Should the fitment be very tight inside the bushings or should you be able to rotate the bar freely without much effort at all. Next, the steps outlined in this thread don't mention anything about welding triangle inner brackets (the one's that fit inside the fender well on the wall you access via taking the fuel tank out).

Can you just bolt up and torque or is it highly recommended that you weld? Is there a significant downside to just using the bolts and forgoing the welds if the car is only used for street and an occasional autocross?
