![]() When I used the socket to install a nut on the sway bar link, the nut stuck in the socket got screwed into place there as well. What must have happened is that when I pulled the nut off the bracket it must have gotten stuck in the socket. When I went to check the nut on top of the sway bar link, I noticed there were two nuts on that bolt! How in the heck? Did gremlins play a trick on me? Did I miss seeing a nut already there and install a second one? Was I losing my mind? Nope. I needed to take the car for a test run, but I thought I would make sure that everything was secure and tight first. ![]() So I went through my box of nuts and bolts and found a suitable replacement. Still puzzled by it the next day, I looked around some more, but the nut was nowhere to be found. It was getting late so I decided to call it quits for the evening. I looked in all the cracks and crevices of the sidewalk and driveway. I followed a path that it would have rolled toward the street from my garage. I looked under, next to, and all around the car. When I went to reinstall one of the sway bar bushing brackets, I found that I only had three out of the four necessary nuts. I pulled off the links, strut rods, sway bar and the control arm and then installed the new parts. I was replacing worn out bushings on the front end of my 1965 Mustang using an air wrench with a deep socket to make things quick and easy.
