Doh! I am in the process of installing a sway bar on my car and discovered that the arms already have the U-tabs installed. Before I found that out I made up some U-tabs from some steel that is a bit thicker than the stock tabs. If you want one or both you can have them. They are a bit ugly but they should work fine.

Why do pictures from your phone cost $.25? Can't you connect your phone to your computer to download them?

Aaron, here's the drops from SRP.
The links attach to the a-arm round rod instead of the stock u-tabs. Better location as it reduces stress on the joints.

Well, it makes me wonder how you lost the drop link? If it was all bolted in good and tight, the link may break off the bottom but should stay on the bar itself. You must not have had it as tight as it should have been.
