so I have a rallitek rear swaybar and it keeps braking the brackets that hold the swaybar bushings on the swaybar..know what I mean? man pics would help but I'm in a hurry.
Q: are there any upgrades for the bracket? or should I get the stock brackets welded and reinforced? wish I could afford to have some cheeky custom aluminum pieces made:)
anyone have this problem? lets brainstorm :smt017

Wow, you must drive like a madman.
Cobb sells upgraded mounts too. They're pretty beefy.

Maybe you need quick disconnects like the offroad guys use haha.
Could it be tied into that next bolt over on the frame and triangulated to that?

If you're offroading you need more articulation - you need a smaller swaybar or none at all.

Or disconnects. Or a real truck.
In all honesty, the disconnects make the most sense, because if I built you reinforced sway mounts I'd just be worried about the "frame rail" failing, unless Ou plate that part of the frame like I did on the Cherokee...and that just seems ridiculous to me.

Mine broke too so I bought the white line mounts.

my Ideal garage would have a cherokee sport 4.0 5spd (dark blue that jeep does so well) and a honda EG 4 door with a K24 swap and rsx 6spd, but I can only afford one or the other so I combined both in a vehicle that can do about 75% of what both can, I am in uncharted territory just the way I like it, I don't want to follow someone elses path of mods. If I need custom parts to make the car that I want then I know I'm doing something rite:)

the "offroadaru" WILL be the strongest, most reliable, cleanest, tightest, and most well built and well thought out subaru outback in the WORLD! I have beautiful rust free subframes that are being built with all new suspension, bushings, links, the lot. I have rust free doors and body panels that will go on after the body is rust proofed, reinforced, and painted. the interior will be redone with some cheeky additions I'd like to save for pics:), I have a new engine with mods ready to go in, I have many many mods on it already both expensive and DIY. the only thing I am lacking is a transmission for when this one goes on me, thinking a wrx 5spd or I might take the financial leap to a STi 6spd. I am very comfortable with the idea of keeping this car for the rest of my life.
