Sway bar end link sheared off

[vt_hokie2008]

I heard a thump whenever going over bumps in the road, had for a day or two but it got more consistent, so I took a look behind the wheel. The top of the bolt/nut is just gone, so my sway bar is only attached on one side (front).

The question now is, do I replace with stock end link or aftermarket?

Found this one, but unsure if it's the right part number:

Do both with the poly urethane bushing kits and while you are at it do the frame bushings with the same. If can afford it, do the rear also. You will be amazed at the new feel.

Order some new links from rock auto or upgrade new polyurethane stuff

Autozone should have all the sizes in stock they sell them in 1 inch longer increments I believe for the energy suspension poly.


I have a set of lightly used ones and a set of brand new ones acdelco oem if interested.

This looks like a nice one:

Energy suspension lists that as a universal part. I did a vehicle search on their site and they actually suggest this part: Assuming 2wd

Are you lifted? Do you off-road pretty hard and flex a lot?

IMO go with a good aftermarket one and make sure it keeps your swaybar at the proper angle (to accommodate for rear lift if you have one). FYI I put Skyjacker links on my FJ and I am pretty happy with those.

I have a level kit, 2.5" front, 1" rear. I don't do any offroading. 4x4 2007 LT

You need the sway bay ends to a parallel to the ground. Unbolt your other link, adjust the bar so they are parallel and then run up to NAPA or any auto parts store and find the correct length ones. The parts stores by me have all different lengths in stock.

Crawl under there. Is the bar parallel with ground? If not how much longer do the links need to be for it to be level?

Measure oem links, then add in what it will take to level the bar.
Go to store. measure them in the packs and get the correct one.
