While installing my lift spacers in the rear of my 05', I had the "bright" idea that if I removed the sway bar, I could more easily push the arms down to attach the bottom of the strut. I attempted to loosen the frame mounts, but as soon as they broke free, the whole stud began to move (a common theme for today if you saw my toe bar post). The back of the stud is round. How are you supposed to tighten these?

I had to ankle the screw when I was putting them back on when I swapped for thicker aftermarket sway bar... not easy...

I guess I could swap the studs out for bolts... but that'll take some leg work getting the right size.

Leg work as in getting all of them out, as currently they are spinning in place.... local hardware store is hit or miss... all takes time that adds up!
