As I usually do, I stopped thinking within the box and relied on theory and how a sway bar mounting makes the sway bar work.

My pics will explain from this point. Your exhaust pipes will probably get in the way of most sway bars but I can't tell by the pics.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw something different out there.
Do you recall what make and model vehicle that sway bar came off of? Many thanks.
