I locked 2 nuts together with a washer. The washer gave my air chisel something to hit. I think the washer is what buggered the threads up. Whacking the aluminum is what eventually freed it. It's freed up in this picture thats why there is no gap between the nut and aluminum.

These poly bushings appear to have a sizable gap too. This is my first experience with poly bushings, not a fan.

Twice as expensive as my first oil change. Still cheap though :)

On my previous es300 sedan I drilled a hole to feed the wire harness under the car. I prefer this method. It's more convenient to pull it out of the trunk. The chance of it dragging on the ground is also reduced.

On side streets the electric motor still had enough torque to yank around the extra 2k lbs.

Battery level when towing 2k lbs didn't change any more than usual. I expected the bars to turn green (fully charged)when going down mountain hills while towing. When exiting the freeway I did get it to fully charge with green bars. But that has also occurred when I'm not towing... so far so good.

This was about 750 lbs. Hardly noticeable when driving.

This was my first tow with it. Also roughly 2k lbs.

Fail or win? In this case fail. Hope depot loaded someone else's water heater onto my trailer. I didn't notice until I unloaded it, argh. I made this trip twice. Suspension looks like it is sagging but it's not. The tongue weight of this trailer is about 30 lbs. The driveway slant makes it look heavy.

After all my struggles with the sway bar I notice this! I unscrewed the zerk fitting. Then I sealed the hole with rtv. Luckily I had shot them full of grease before starting this project.

The top bolt would thread all the way in by hand with no issues. Then the next time it would bind up. Rather than risk knocking another nut off I decided to clean the threads out with a tap. I don't know what was in the threads but I mounted the sway bar 3 or 4 times before the bolt went in. I tapped and sprayed cleaner on the nut each time I had the sway bar down. Sometimes things are a pain.

The threads were definitely buggered up on the original bolt. Sorry, no pictures of the big bolt in place.

This is a pic of the empty hole. I was thankful it was a lower nut that had issues. I had just enough clearance to drill clean through the frame to put a nut on the other side.

The nut busted off inside the frame! I had the sway bar mounted at the time. Luckily I was able to get the nut to unthread, it fell off inside the frame. In this pic I just slid the bolt into the empty hole.
