Sway it isn't so!
I wonder if it's only Vetter and myself actually doing anything on a quasi daily basis.
There was a thread in here the past week about sway bars so I figured while I had so much of the front off the car (cleaning / tidy-up), I might as well pull the front sway bar down and give it a good once-over.
Interesting (and this might be worthy for others to really take note). Underneath one of the rubber bushings, it was starting to rust and more than just a little. One pretty good pit in it and that of course prompted me to sand the whole thing clean and start a repaint process.
Take note because another car / brand I owned at a time, which also had hollow sway bars...well it must have gotten moisture inside and right around the time those bars became unobtanium, it snapped an end off.
Soooo for anyone whose sway bars might be showing a hint of rust near the rubber bushings, I'd say you might do well to either lube 'em up a bit to try to keep the rust at bay, or take the bar down and fix it right.
The end links were "pretty good" but not more than that so I'm changing those for new ones. I do understand early flavors had plastic bushings and later ones (anything you'd buy from GM now best as I've read), have steel. If for nothing else, it was mildly satisfying - it's always more fun when you do find a problem and are able to solve it without it burning a massive hole in your pocket.
