I had my sways for more than 2 years and have lost a total of 4 nuts on the right side of my front sway. Everytime I keep on replacing the nut on the end link, but it still comes loose and eventually falls off. Now my latest dilema is that my whole front end sway has come loose. My front end feels like it's going to fall off and I get a bad vibration even at low speeds. This thing blows I'll be putting my original sways back on so I don't have to deal with this crap anymore. Sorry had to vent.

 

it's much better to bust a nut than lose one.

 

^lol

Did you try loctite or anything like that.

 

why not install a cotter pin?

 

+1...Loctite will do the trick. Just make sure you don't use the one made for engine assembly (rods) or it will be a PITA to get the nuts off when you need to.

 

Yep put all kinds of loctite on it and still comes off.

 

LOL! How true!

 

try loctite in combination with lock washer....if there's room on the thread,use another nut right on top of that nut and if you can,drill a small hole on the outside to use the cotter pin
if after all that and it still come loose? throw that POS in da trash

 

^+1 if the solution up above doesn't work then weld it

 

Raise up off these N.U.Ts
Cuz you gets none of deez.
At ease.

 

Have you tried replacing the end link as well?

 

Nothing wrong with the end link. I can do what Tinman said but I don't want to go through all that trouble since I'm selling the car anyways. So I'll have my friend take the damn thing out and just put the originals back on. When I take out the sways I'll sell it on here and just inform the buyer of what he or she needs to do. Screw it.

 

loctite blue should hold, if that doesn't use red. If the thread are all messed up from coming off and the rod end rubbing on the threads you might need to use a thread chaser the recut the threads, then the loctite should hold.

 

what brand sways do you have?

 

Hotchkis sways and yes it's adjustable. If I ever do sell it I'll let you guys know.
