Is the sway bar somehow sliding horizontally?

[HStone33]

On the way home this morning I got some shaking briefly in the steering wheel which is uncommon, when I got under to look at the front end I noticed the sway bar looks like it’s been sliding inside the bushing? Is that possible?

Yes it is. I recommend getting new bushings.

Thank you for the quick response! That would make a lot of sense with how it’s been handling lately

I was gonna ask if it seemed a little squirrelly

New bushings will hold the sway bar better, yes, but will not address the shaking you experienced.

It’s more likely that the shaking (from a worn part somewhere else in the front end) is what caused the sway bar to shift side to side.

Could the links being too tight cause this as well? I haven’t full dived into it yet but I did a quick browse and everything looks relatively fine.

Check your lower ball joints, that’ll turn into death wobble soon.

Did you solve your problem? today I saw the same thing with my bushings
