Stripped the nut on rear swaybar mount

wrxpappy · 06-02-2008, 08:16 AM

I've been switching rear sway bars in and out to run track days and A/S in SCCA autocross. I stripped the 12 mm nut (stripped the pattern on the outside on the nut, not the bolt) on the left swaybar mount. Because I've swapped in and out so much, can I buy the whole mount (it looks like I can undo two bolts and get the whole mount to come out)? Anybody know what that mount is called?

The only other solution (in my mind) is to carefully drill the old nut off and get a new nut but these bars have been in and out so much it might be good to replace the whole thing. Track day coming up soon (outer track @ MMP!!).

Anyway, please give me ideas.

Thanks

rear stabilizer bar bracket (#4 in the illustration). They're inexpensive ($10 from subaru) and simple to replace.

Thanks Snortky, it's the bracket that that bracket hooks to that I think I need. It's not the bracket around the bushing, I'd like to replace the bracket that the rear stab. bracket hooks to. Nice illustration by the way.

that would be number 4. number 3 is the strap that attaches the bushing to the bracket. I have mine off my car if you want me to take a pic.
