CJ 7 Stabilizer Bar Problem !
« on: April 16, 2005, 04:44:30 PM »
After many seasons of 4 wheeling I noticed that my CJ had a vicious front end shake. I got underneath and saw that the bracket (passenger side) where the stabilizer bar mounts to the frame was loose. Closer inspection showed that all three bolts (two from the bottom and one from the side) had loosened enough to let the bracket drop 3/8" or so from the frame. I was looking at this and there appears to be long tubular type "nuts" on the bolts. Very different then the captive nut that holds the spring hanger to the frame. Anyway these "nuts" have separated from the frame and the bolts just turn in the holes. I can grind off the bolts but then what? Is there some type of nutsert or other way to reattach the plate?
