OK, OK. What you can do with the pathetic stock bar is to make small steel or 
aluminum 'filler pieces' to fill up the slots in front of and behind the bolt 
shanks in the mount tabs. They are loose but will be restrained from falling 
out by washers under the boltheads & nuts. At least these will prevent the 
bolts from sliding back and forth. As I said, the tabs won't transmit big-time 
cornering forces very long, but they will temporarily help, at low cost and 
small effort. FWIW, the same technique can be used to make workable 'camber locks' 
for the upper front ball joints. Cheers- J Deryke
