Rear Sway Bar Question
Rear Sway Bar Question
I installed a Helwig rear anti-sway bar a few months ago and so far I really like the improvement to the ride.
I ran over something the other day and the next morning both right side tires were flat (bummer). I noticed that the sway bar 'L' bracket for the right side had slipped a little and wasn't plumb to the riser bolt. I was able to bang it back straight with a sledge hammer and rechecked the bolts all the way around and found that all were as tight as I could get them with a long wrench.
So now I'm wondering if getting a welder to run a bead down both sides of both brackets would be a good idea. My biggest concern is would this possibly weaken the chassis frame rail? I tow a 27' TT and I don't want to do anything to hurt the truck. Opinions?
