Mike H had a problem with one of the plastic disconnect nuts. The nut was slipping inside the plastic, which meant it was impossible to remove the bolt without mangling the entire nut. I think this may have been caused by over tightening, but as there appears to be disgreement on how tight they should be done up then I think this problem will happen in future.
I have a separate question also. Is it normal for one side of the sway bar to be much cloer to the attachment point than the other ? My passenger side is so far away when disconnected that I have to park on a side hill to be able to reconnect. Similarly I sometimes have difficulty removing the spacer on the driver side because its jammed in so hard by the sway bar.
Is this normal ? and is it likely to be made worse by driving when disconnected ?
