Rear sway bar link, which style is better? (1 Viewer)

[rc51kid]

I have a 94 with the side mount rear sway bare link. One of the links that looks like a tie rod tend is bad and will need to be replaced. Is there an advantage to switching to the style that bolts under the frame vs the side mount? Can I convert one style to the other if I replaced all the hard wear?

I prefer Landcruiser phil or Landtank for rear swaybar links

The under the frame setup is better for those trucks which are taken off road. When the rear axle is flexed the sway bar on the compression side can be lower than the rear lower control arm and be exposed to contacting something.

When contact is made the side mount style will shear one or both of the 8mm bolts. The underside mount will take the hit better and likely only distort the bracket or the link.

To convert over to the underside style you will need the new parts and install nursery’s into the holes in the frame as they are not threaded.
