The tack welded nuts are in the inside of the subframe.

If possible take a post a picture of your install.

I didn't remove the tach weld nuts. My bolt was long enough to get the nut on.

I believe that is the only reason you need to remove the nuts; so that you can get the nut on the bolt

You have to remove the tack weld nut (1 on each side) and drill the whole to make it larger for the bigger and longer bolt. Check here http://geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html

wait so are you saying you could skip that step if you bought smaller and longer bolts?

No I'm saying you need to get longer and bigger bolt to reinforce to bigger swaybar.

did this guy possibly drill through the tack welded nuts? It's been awhile since I did the install so I don't really rember all the details.

Well...I drilled threw the ABS Bracket hole with a 5/16 or whatever the BretQ site said...And the bolt just went right threw, and i dropped the LCA and connected the Bolt to the nut..and it went threw fine...Let me know if i endangered the install by doing this..

I do not know how you managed to do the install w/o removing the tack welded nuts.


A few questions:

You purchased all the necessary parts mentioed on BSQ's site?

If you did I am sure you would have had some unsed parts, like the washerand nut

I got everything on BSQ website, this is how my setup is...

Bolt goes threw the following : Swaybar Bushing Bracket>SwaybarBushing>BSQ Plate> Cylinder Type 1/2 inch Spacer> Smaller Thin Washer>SubFrame>TackWelded Nut and is connected on the other side by the Nut...

All i did was drop the LCA to get a easier hand at the end of the Bolt, to get the Nut on it..And the whole install only took about 20 mins..

You have the washer on the wrong side of the subframe. You need to have it on the inside of the subframe, instead of the outside. You will need to remove the tack-welded nut that you drilled through. So here is the right sequence:

Swaybar Bushing Bracket>SwaybarBushing>BSQ Plate> Cylinder Type 1/2 inch Spacer> SubFrame>Smaller Thin Washer>TackWelded Nut
