Default HM swaybar link repair

so isuzu is pretty ------ retarded with its plastic rivets holding balljoints to steel cups and 1/4" rod setup.

they always break, and this one side luckily didn't.
how'd i fix it? welded 4 gr8 1/2" washers together, welded a 3/8"x1.5 bolt. did this 2x, one for top, one for bottom.

welded two 3/8"x2" bolts to the end of 1/2" x .125wall pipe, used all gr8 hardware.



double nutted gr5 nuts for a locknut, but didn't make them super tight in case it gets really twisted up.

wish i could have just used one long bolt like everyone else, but nooooo they gotta nog it all up.

You fail at explaining things on IM.

its not felt, i used a holesaw to cut rubber floor matting (not autmotive, 1/2" thick machinery mats). thats just the fibers that fuzzed out. i tried burning them off before and it just makes horrible smelling smoke and doesnt really do much
