I need some more help from the experts on the correct position of the stabilizer bar bracket, attached to the fender bolts, mounted under the rear axle. I'm questioning this because the sway bars on my "New" 8N are bowed and bent, but, the ends of the sway bars line up with the ends of the lift arms where they attach to the shredder. I'm thinking the sway bars are too long or the brackets are in the wrong position. For safety reasons, I realize that the sway bars need to be straight to work properly. How should the brackets be postioned? Depending on which side of the tractor it's on, and which end faces forward, you could locate the stabilizer bar attachment point on the front, or back of the axle, and have it either on the tire side or differential side. And you can mount the sway bar on either the tractor side or tire side of the bracket. Currently, mine has the attachment point on the front of the axle, towards the differential and the arms are mounted on the tractor side of the bracket. Locating the attach point on the front of the axle appears correct, since it lines up with the Lift arm attachment point. If anyone gets a chance, please look at your tractor and let me know how yours is set up. Thanks in advance for your help.
