front sway bar question
Does anyone know if the brackets under the coil springs are slotted so you just slide them out after loosening the big through bolt, or must you completely remove the bolt because the the brackets have a hole not a slot. Thanks

On my 83, the spring needs to be lifted out, put the bracket in, then replace the spring.
