Urgent Help Needed with struts/swaybar

[peepsalot]

If you can't afford to buy new struts right now, I would just weld it as someone else said. I don't see why that wouldn't work as long as you don't damage the sway bar when you're welding (just weld a piece onto the strut so you can attach the sway bar to it). Put a lot of weld on it and it should be strong enough, as long as you don't completely deform the metal from the heat (which could be a problem).

I thought about that, but the weld would have to be perfectly flat on both sides for the nut and spacer to sit flush against.

"a lot of weld" + perfectly flat = paradox

High misalignment spacers and heim joints are your search terms....

Peeps, you need to change the heim joints (ball joint) on those Delsing endlinks if you want to preserve your strut brace. You need a heim joint with a high misalignment spacer because it looks as if the links are binding with the bolts. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

I woudlike know where to buy those rod end?

how much for those rod end?

thank

Remember, you have to get a bigger ball joint because of this:

"spacers are assembled into spherical rod end ("heim joint") bores to increase misalignment (also effectively reduces bore i.d.).
