W250 Front Sway Bar

I am up under the truck doing my kingpins and noticed my sway bar is basically dangling. The hardware connecting the bar to the axle rusted so much it broke, I hate salt....

Does anyone know where I can get new hardware for the front sway bar? It seems there are plenty of sources for the bushings but not the hardware. Any thoughts?

well a lot of them didn't have sways so you would be fine just removing the cancerous mess. Other than that I think you can still get bushings and hardware but I can't cite a source ATM.

I was just at Napa and they threw their arms up. They only have the bushing kits...

I am going to keep searching...

All I could find for mine was bushing kits, I was missing the drivers side link... My plow bracket was in the way of removing it in one piece, so I cut the sucker in half and threw it away... LOL
I've only ever owned one other leaf sprung truck with a sway bar at all, and quite frankly they don't make that much difference.

Sometimes they have you over a barrel and you gotta just grin and bear it.
