Landtank does it again - Sway Bar links

[Timpanogos Slim]

Who carries the bushing? Mine are shot. Wish I could get urethane. One link is bent also.

Whiteline and Energy Suspension both make compatible urethanes, iirc.

 

[landtank]

Yeah.

I wasn't expecting that. Looks like you slid sideways down on it and rested the whole truck against it.

The weld held though!

What did the frame bracket look like?

 

[Wrench]

Frame bracket is fine.

 

[landtank]

I had a drop bracket on my truck and actually bent it from an impact but the link was just fine. But that was likely a frontal assault and not from the side.

Found some locally. Polyurethane. Hopefully these will stand up to hard wheeling better than the rubber ones. We shall see!

I have these on my truck for 2 years and holding up very well. Had to cut one down on each side to get the nut to catch

Those "socket" thingys are spendy as hell to boot. I wish the frame had the captive-threaded holes in the bottom to change over to the bottom-mount style. I'm not convinced that nutserts would be strong enough to handle. it.

I just did nutserts. Will report back how it is holding up.

Thanks. Good to know.

If anyone is going to a bushing that is taller than the one I spec out just buy a longer bolt. The bolts used on my links are 3/8 x 16. Just slide out the one used measure and buy a longer one.

I've worked out an under the frame option. One of my concerns was using the stock bracket with a nutsert. The nutsert would sit on top of the frame and create a rocking condition that I thought would lead to a failure.

So I had these made with a relief for the nutsert. Just need to install a set to confirm fitment.

^Awesome! Might need to get some now.

Very nice!
