![]() If I temporarily remove my front sway bar, will this cause my tires to wear more on the inside due to messed up alignment? I'm asking because a mount broke and the local discount auto parts place doesn't have what I need. The clamps aren't long enough and one of the spacers broke. I tried using the generic short clamps, but that lowered the car and put the bar right in front of the oil drain plug.

![]() Naaahh... not if it's temporary. The life of tires on a fox body is around 20 - 30k driven hard on my past cars. Just don't take the corners too hard, and watch out past 60mph... you'll see what I mean!

![]() Damn. Just called around and can't find the spacer piece that goes between the U-clamp and the frame. Vatozone and Discount don't have them. Called ford dealership parts department. They said its discontinued. Any other sources?

![]() Look at Steeda, Energy Suspension and other bushing manufacturers. There are aftermarket sources for the swaybar mount.

![]() I don't think it is a major issue. Unless you're road racing it or take it through the twisties you shouldn't have any major issues. I snapped the rear sway bar at the weld going sideways out onto the street from a parking lot 2 years ago. Haven't even noticed a difference, and I drive it like I stole it.....
