We recently had to frame a 2x4 half wall which is 4' high and about 4' long. It connects to a full height stud wall on one end. The end which is not attached sways considerably side to side.
We are considering shearing it with 7/16 osb which would be glued and nailed to all of the studs. We are not sure if this will completely fix the problem.
Another thought tossed around was to add some diagnol bracing within the wall. Adding a post to the ceiling is out of the question. I'm sure some of you out there have ran across this before. What do you think?
