Anyone ever have the small bars that attach the stabilizer bar to the lower control arms break on them? How hard are they to replace? So far it looks like a small job... Is an alignment needed after?
I have a 2001 Super Crew

Thanks in advance

 

u mean swaybar end links? they are very easy to do, u can pick up new ones at any auto parts store.

 

Those end links are easy to replace, and no alignment required. Just unbolt them and bolt in new ones. You can get aftermarket ones with polyurethane donuts for most vehicles for around $25.

The question is, why did they break? Are you doing a lot of rock crawling in your Screw? Is it raised or lowered? Usually the bushings wear out, split, or crush, but the bars themselves are pretty tough.

 

They just rust out and snap. I think that I have replaced them 3 times now.

Thanks for the help and answers. The link appeared to break inside the plastic boot. I think rust was the culprit.
