my new Iroc-Z, while completely rust free, needs new sway bar links in the rear...theyve completely disintegrated just like they did on my 87. i picked up the MOOG kit (K6630) i think theyre some sort of poly bushing, not the rubber ones i used onthe 87. last time i just tightened till i didnt feel like tightening anymore. is there a recommended torque or number of threads that i should tighten them?

o so ur missing the wheel lock key. hopefully ur buddy has the right key , theres lotsa different sets. you should probly find ur own key incase of a flat tire. Car looks real nice by the way

Or u could by a wheel lock removing kit. MY cousin MATT has one cuz his Dad owned a Firestone or something works wonders when u lose or break the lock nut as i did with the trustee impact gun. What a dumbass. :gay:
