Front sway bar mount flexing too much, cracking crossmember

Post by rallyak »

Is there a aftermarket bracket that will stiffen the sway bar mount to keep this from happening. Mine is cracked on both sides and cracked thru to the top side of the crossmember. Right now I can weld it up but I believe it will crack out again. Has anyone else had this happen? How did you prevent it.

Not that I know of. Newer subframes have a stronger swaybar mount though. 96-99 LGT and 02-04 impreza off the top of my head will work and have the same steering rack mounts. Impreza has a wider front control arm bushing by a little bit.

What size front anti-sway bar are you using?

I have a 22mm white line bar up front.
