hmm, looks like they were bolted on before.
They should be welded? Does anyone have the Weltmeister instruction sheet they could scan and post? |

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.

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.

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....)

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

Always weld it. That's my policy!
