1994 Grand Cherokeejohnson110 04-13-2009, 06:21 PM Hi, I had my jeep inspected has 184k on it, he passed it but told me it need front end work, I look under and the sway bar on one end is broken off it's mount, I want to take the mount off, it has an 18 mm bolt on one end and the other looks like a torx bolt, sprayed with pb blaster, not wanting to give at all, waiting for the fluid to soak in! Questions: what size is this torx bolt ? how much do these " sway bar mounts cost " ? The mechanic told me it needs a steering stabilzer, however, it shows no leakage, if I take the bar that is attached to the pitman arm is does have play in it. Any thoughts on this problem? Thanks fredjacksonsan 04-13-2009, 09:39 PM Without looking at it, can't tell what size the torx head is. I'd think something like a T55 or so (that's roughly 9 or 10mm). Steering stabilizer is, in effect, a shock absorber, so it could be worn out and not show anything on the outside. Old Man Emu makes a really good one, I'd recommend theirs if you are going to go aftermarket. johnson110 04-17-2009, 11:23 AM Thanks, Another question, got the nuts freed fron the "TORX" bolts, Is the bolt threaded into the mount, or can I it with a hammer and make it come out the other side? johnson110 04-17-2009, 07:31 PM Well I was able to get the bolts out! fredjacksonsan 04-18-2009, 06:22 PM (then you've found out they're not threaded....) have a good one!
