    Sway Bar Bracket Bolts

    Hey man, Easy solution that is about 99% flush. 3/8" x 1 1/2" round head carriage bolts. The head does fit through and the square just below the head locks into the notch so it won't turn. It's really only the driver's side you can't push down from above so turn slow and gentle or vise grips...
