Sway Bar Install FAILURE

Today, my parents came down to Fort Wayne to pick up my grandpa, so my brother and I also went to Fort Wayne to visit. I also decided to bring my sway bar to do the install at home.

The install did not run as smoothly as I liked though. I had no problems with loosening the bracket bolts, but the end links just wouldn't budge! The reason why the end link was so difficult to loosen it was because I needed a specific wrench to hold the hex washer (located at the top of the end link) in place to get the bolt on the bottom of the end link off. I spent hours doing trial and error to figure out what size fits and could not find the right size. I went through about four different size wrenches which were all close, but not exact. Eventually, my brother and I went to Lowe's to buy different sized wrenches that we have not already tried. But still, no luck. After spending about five hours trying to take the sway bar off, my brother and I gave up and went back to Bloomington. Hopefully next time I'll have more luck...

Here is a picture of the hex washer that I couldn't find a wrench for:

Delivered: Front Sway Bar

My front sway bar finally came in!

Hurry Up UPS!

In a couple days, UPS is going to give me my first mod (sway bars)! I've been waiting to get sways ever since I got my car over two years ago. But the wait was worth it since I found out a couple months ago what the best sway bar combination really is. Come to think of it ... if I didn't wait and do the research, I would have wasted $230 from switching bars! Whew...

But I think I've used up all of my patience. This was my first time doing business with Never Enough Auto Accessories and they didn't really give me a good first impression. I've been waiting for my sway bar to arrive for five days now. I ordered the sway on Monday and it probably won't be here until Monday next week since today's Saturday. Hopefully I'll luck out and UPS will deliver it today because I'm not sure if they deliver on weekends. But from what the tracking information says, the package is "in transit to Bloomington, IN from Indianapolis since 9:04am." It's about 2:30pm right now. So its been "in transit" for about five hours. That doesn't make sense at all because I've driven back and forth from Indianapolis to Bloomington and I know that it takes only about an hour flat at five over the speed limit both directions. Who knows ... maybe it's on its way right now or maybe it's not. I should probably just stop checking my tracking info so that time might pass by a little bit faster. lol
