Front Sway Bar Mount Bracket

Where can i get this Mount Bracket? This is for my 93 FD.

My front left sway bar mount bracket (not the U one) bent and i need a new one... its the piece that goes to the frame to the U mount thing. sorry i don't know technical terms.

and why are all the FSM corrupt when i try to dl them?? any updates? still searching for all torque specs on suspension parts.

perfect. Also,

For suspension parts.. looks like you only have to torque down the ball joint correctly? the upper control arm just goes on super tight... the bolt that holds the strut in place is just.. super tight... bolt that holds the end links are just.. super tight... bolts that connet the lower control arm to the frame.. just super tight (although alignment has something to do with this)

intersting

There are torque specs listed in the FSM for almost every fastener on the car. Read it and follow the specs, especially on suspension components.

That looks killer!!!. in any case if you plan on running aftermarket sway bar or have high mileage on your FD which has been lowered , this bracket needs to be examined and replaced.

Mine cracked on both sides with having only 35k miles on them.

RE-A stabilizer bridge bar

Hello

According to RX7 magazine in Japan, this product is the most effective body stiffner.

The RX7 magazine says better steering feel with the bracket.

We recommend this product because not so expensive.

I made my own heavy duty mounts. Really not that hard if you can weld.

The Racing Beat stiffener in conjunction with the stock mounts is the cheapest solution, and very effective.

The Widefoot mounts are gorgeous - really excellent craftsmanship. Unfortunately for me, the method used to stiffen the sway bar mount consumes precious space I need for a brake ducting tube.

If your stock sway mounts/radiator mounts bend, they transfer energy to your end links on the bar which will be the next things to bend.
