    Barn of Parts Procross Sway Bars

    I drilled it to 5/16, and have stainless steel button head hex x 1 1/2 " long, 5/16-18, with a nylon locknut. I also have the same in black button head allen which may be harder, just in case.

    Barn of Parts Procross Sway Bars

    I would like to add the swaybar definately works as intended. The few times I tested on what little snow we had, the front leaned much less and if it did pick the inside ski, it did not come up much and felt controllable. I run the front springs very soft, with curve skis and 6 inch slim jims so...

    Barn of Parts New Driveshaft Solution

    Sure sounds like it. If you have a micrometer, measure where the bearing sits and use a telescope gauge or bore mic for the ID of the bearing and you'll know for sure. Mine is still snug after 4000+ miles but I prick punch the shaft anyway. BOP bearing is waiting in the wings if it ever shows...
