Swaybar alignment question?
Hey guys disconnected my front swaybar the other day to check if my end links are bad went for a quick drive and then reconnected it. Now it pulls really bad to the left when driving. I am confused didn't think the swaybar effected alignment. Am I missing something? Does the suspension need to "resettle" from driving it without the sway? Thoughts?

The bar has no bearing on your alignment as far as I'm aware...

Coincidence maybe? Have you hit a curb recently? Did someone else drive your truck and knock it out? Unless your ASB hit a tie rod end and knocked it out/bent it during your drive with it disconnected. I've never heard of the ASB having a major impact on alignment, and I've used Mstudt disconnects and beat the crap out of them, never having any effect on alignment. Curious.....

"disconnected my front swaybar the other day to check if my end links are bad went for a quick drive and then reconnected it" Did you just leave the swaybar hang there? I hope not. It can get into your axles.

Only I have drove it. Disconnected drove up the road fine came back home and reconnected. Seems really strange to me. I did foolishly leave the sway bar hang. Guess I'll check the tie rods tomorrow. Did you like the Mstudt links thinking of getting a pair.

Checked the tie rods and they don't appear to be bent so that's promising. The driver side (the side it pulls to) is showing my threads than the pass side.

One thing I have noticed that has been peculiar to my 4Runner is the lock nuts on the outer tie rod ends loosen up if not tightened very well.

It would be awfully coincidental, but maybe that has something to do with it?
