My rear suspension clanks when I go over any bumps, especially at an angle. I narrowed down to worn bushings in the rear sway bar links.

A closer look revealed that the links are actually being pushed at an angle. Almost as if the sway bar was pushing too far forward.

I have a Sonoran Steel 1.2 kit, installed by a previous owner. Is this an issue caused by the PO not having put on longer links when installing the kit? If I replace with longer links (2nd gen, etc.) will that likely get them to line up, again?

Or maybe something else is wrong? Or nothing at all?

Thanks for the help. I'm still learning the 4Runner suspension stuff.
