End-Links Snapped
End-Links Snapped
Hello All
Im wondering if anyone has had problems with thier sway bar end links snapping in half? Yesterday I was driving REAL slow, and had the radio way down, and realized I had a really bad clunking sound whenever I hit a bump. Truck seemed extra rolly too, like a damn boat. So today I crawled under the truck, and I halfway expected this-the end links were snapped in half. Not just one, both sides.
So, is this something kind of common? Or just caused by offroading/getting the crap beat out of them? I wondered if it had something to do with my lift, however, its just a spindle lift and that really doesnt change any of that stuff.
No biggie, called NAPA and they have a set for 22 bucks that Ill go get tomarrow, just kinda crazy how they are both snapped clean off.

Got the new ones in. When I first took them out of the box the first thing I though was "im going to snap these things like twigs". Little **** bolts is all they were, then I pulled off the old ones and they were the same things. They were rusted like a **** though.
I probably should have fabbed up something a little stronger, oh well.

I had the same problem with mine also. After I snapped three of the factory ones, I bought a set of Moogs. They cost about $7-8 each and come with heavier hardware and bushings, no more problems.
