Broken Sway Bar Bolt

Ben Hinz · May 13, 2017

So I was changing out the bushing on my sway bar. As I was taking on of the bolts out, it snapped. I was taking it out with a ratchet, not even an impact. So now I have a sway bar with 3 of 4 bolts and it's knocking around and driving me nuts. Any ideas on removing it, now that it's like a stud?

Vise grips if you can get ahold of it, easy-out if you can't. Remove the bushing and holder first, and soak it with PB Blaster first also.

One of mine broke too. I ended up drilling It all the way through and ended up using a grade 8 Nut and bolt

Weld a nut to it and drench it with Kroil or PB blaster and take it out

You can also try a reverse drill bit. I have have decent success after I have broken heads off bots.

yea all great recommendations. Worst case, a shop can drill it out. I had same issue with ABS sensor rusted into wheel hub on another car. Got ***** to get it removed after my few failed attempts but these things just happen sometimes. Good luck.
