Hey Y’all,
hoping i’m just overthinking this one. My front sway bar shifted about 1.5” to the driver’s side and is rubbing the steering knuckle on turns. Dealer won’t touch it because of the aftermarket suspension (icon stage 2), but the tech I spoke to looked it over and confirmed none of the parts are bad (brackets, bolts, bushings). Love the shop that did the lift, but they’re booked out for a couple months (good on them, they deserve the work).
anyway, I don’t want to ignore this because it does rub the steering knuckle. found a lot of guides for working with the front sway bar on kdss 4runners but not the GX. Can anyone let me know if my steps to try and fix this are right, or if there’s a shop here in GA that they’d recommend? Also, is there some sort of extended sway bar link for the passenger side (the fixed one, not the kdss piston)? I think this is slipping because of the lift + that fixed arm holding the sway bar higher on the passenger side than the piston holds it on the driver side.
1) unbolt sway bar from passenger LCA bracket.
2) unbolt sway bar from driver side LCA bracket
3) unbolt bracket from kdss piston on sway bar
4) re-position sway bar
5) re-attach sway bar to kdss piston
6) re-attach sway bar to fixed arm bracket on passenger side
7) re-attach to passenger LCA
8) re-attach to driver side LCA
will it just slip again?
im at a loss on this one and google hasn’t turned up anything
