Would POR-15 work? It pretty thick stuff, hates UV but I think it might seal the ends up enough and protect it. Just shooting from the hip..I would think something thinner, that would wick into the space better, would last longer. Maybe some water-thin (or slightly thicker) epoxy resin? Epoxy's only enemy is UV, so under the truck it should hold up well.
the hellwig bars are solid and powder coatedOk guys…I have a question. Any thoughts or ideas on keeping the sway bar/stabilizer bar from suffering failure resulting from Michigan winters?
The bars are formed, flattened, and a hole is punched for the sway bar links. At the end of the tube stock where it was cut and flattened, the “fold” started to rot out on my old one. I’m debating filling the end of this one with some JB weld vs an actual weld so the heat doesn’t warp the bar.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, comments, oh $h*ts or by the ways? Thanks…

That’s a weird pattern, it looks like a brake pad was stuck to the surface of the rotor for a real long time.Replaced the rear pads and rotors. Wife said she was getting a nasty surge when hitting the brakes. I think I know why after looking at the rear drivers side rotor.
I guess it’s a good thing you can crawl under yours. I can’t on mine at all without jacking it up.Had to crawl under the car three times today with it in gear to put the dam shift linkage back on so I could put it in reverse to park.
Parts are supposedly showing up tomorrow to fix that crup
Yeah, working on things in the engine bay is a little annoying, but oil changes and servicing anything from underneath, and no floor jacks/jack stands required for the most part.I guess it’s a good thing you can crawl under yours. I can’t on mine at all without jacking it up.
Not uncommon for the street side in salt country. I always theorized it was. Corrosion from under a wet brake pad that sat a couple days.That’s a weird pattern, it looks like a brake pad was stuck to the surface of the rotor for a real long time.
