Okay, good to know. I guess what I have been calling the sway bar is actually the panhard bar. It's quite bent:


I'm thinking about either getting a new one from a junkyard, or cutting the ends off of this one and welding in a new section of bar stock. I the passenger side off no problem, but the driver's side is difficult because the head of the bolt that holds it in is very hard to get at. I suppose I need a 15/16 open-end wrench. Anybody got tips for that?

With the panhard bar disconnected and the coil springs seated where they should be, the axle is still 1-2" off center. What would cause this misalignment? What else might be bent? I drove it around the parking lot with the bent panhard bar disconnected and I thought that would help to center things out. Any ideas what else might need replacing?
