    WTB: sway bar mounting bracket studs and nuts

    Hey guys,

    I accidentally broke a couple studs when removing my sway bar to change the oil; shame on me for not lubricating them or heating them first! The dealer didn't seem to be able to get just the hardware without the subframe being attached to it; I just need two studs and nuts; the studs can be pushed out of the subframe with a mallet fairly easily. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated!!

    The reason they are pressed in is because just like a wheel stud, access to the back is impossible and you can only fasten from one side. The only way one would be able to guarantee the stud doesn't turn within the hole in the engine cradle is to use a stud that has an Allenhead fitting at the end that permits the use of an Allenhead wrench to keep the stud from turning while you tighten up the nut (just like is done with dampers on struts).
