swaybar links......nom nom

[bigbadram1500]

Apparently my truck finds them tasty because it has broken the 2nd set of replacement ones I have had put on the truck. I can hear the busted links rattling when driving the truck. Taking it in tomorrow to see what's going on and why it's breaking them. Hopefully will have an update tomorrow.

you think the level kit is screwing things up?

 

[bigbadram1500]

I'm not sure. The leveling kit has been on for a couple years now, so Idk if it would start causing problems now or not. James thought maybe the new springs are causing it since they are new and stiffer and not going to give as much as the old worn in ones did.

ugh. that sucks. i think its time for a 4th gen.

 

[bigbadram1500]

LOL the 4th gen cherry red crew cabs are very tempting, I just don't want the start over of payments LOL

 

[LB3711]

Hmm I hope not. I got the level kit on mine.

yeah, I don't think it is. I think I would have had problems way before now if it was the leveling kit.

i think you do. lol

Lol

Mmmmm 4th Gen.....

That being said, I think Top Gun Customs make an all metal sway bar end link.
My other suggestion is make sure you're not over/under tightening them. This can cause the bushings to bind, thus breaking the unit. (I always use a good coat of silicon paste on any bushings when installed)

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I haven't heard yet if they have been replaced.

Had to order the new links, so now planning on getting them put on tomorrow. This will be the 3rd set from NAPA. If they break again, going with a different brand.

 

[txbass06]

What brand are they?

Are the links they are using stock ? If so that is the problem . With the level you NEED longer links .. they can replace them all day long with stock , but they will keep breaking

They are the Napa house brand.

Yep, they are stock replacements, but with the greaseable pivot joint.

The factory ones weren't broken when I had them replaced. Just had them replaced because they had almost 50k on them.

 

[ramhunter9]

If your level is 2.5 or bigger you NEED longer ... Period

 

[bigbadram1500]

Will I have to go thru a suspension company to get those?
