Re: Was the rear sway bar mount redesigned?
I recall a few posts about the rear sway bar mount cracking/breaking (on one or both sides) in a few crossfires during my almost 6 years here. I recall a few members had to have additional plates welded in while the repairs were being done. I also recall a picture or two (probably more) that I recall as being very different than the arrangement on my 08. Today, while doing a tire rotation (and inspecting a few things under her), I looked closely at my sway bar mounts to see if there was anything amiss. I didn't see a problem, but it looked like they were much different than the memory of the pictures I remember. So, I snapped a few pictures (3 each side) and am posting them here for anyone to either confirm or deny any change in the design along the way, for this mount. Do they look any different from those that were failed/repaired? The first three are the passenger side, the last three are drivers side. .
I think they look the same.
Yours show the same bent plate that the broken ones do, definitely not strong enough.
I'll look at mine.

These look the exact same as mine in the 2005 SRT6. Were you saying that the little plate that separates the bushing from the body breaks sometimes? I think that mine has some more that a reasonable amount of abuse, and it didn't look unusual to me, but I'll get under it tonight if that's a common problem.
