Gonna go to recyclers for sway bar I threw out :whymewhyme: for $50 to make it better through turns as she wallows without... I had always heard it gibes you more flex, but I really am slowing to turn, and womder about panic lane change on freeway, so figure it may be best with it on...

Then I was going to back her in for drum service, but had hard lock up...think it was how I trimmed caliper on other side, and was wondering why I wouldnt have to do this side, but after this, I may, because I think wheel spoke is hitting the caliper and not allowing rotation... We will see but I got work tommorrow, and its late so im calling it...

Went out and jacked up the rear, put jackstands under, and removed wheels...had to go to O'Reilly to get two 8mm x 1.25 bolts to back out the rotor. Since I was one of the first 25, I got a hat for black friday buying 1.70 bolts...
