Sway Bar Links - Eugene, OR

[mesooohoppy]

OH! That makes sense. That would def be a source of clunk. I just replaced mine with the Prothane units with the greasble zerks fittings on the brackets.

thank you. i guess i should have went that route for the zerks. i wonder if i can buy just the clamps.

off to google.

edit: balls. i guess energy makes a kit. but i didnt buy the 'kit', i just bought the bushings. oh well.

You might be able to find the brackets - if not, not a huge deal. Just put a nice synthetic grease on the bar and it should be good for a while.

So while installing the front links today, one of the cone washers/spacers rolled down my driveway and into the abyss...cutting my install short. I weed whacked and everything trying to find that damned thing.

Anyone know where I could find another? Which size am I looking for?

Edit: Found 'em - Amazon.com: QSC 1/2 Steel Cone Spacer, Tapered Rod End Spacer: Industrial & Scientific

Shipping is cheaper here: 1/2" STEEL CONE SPACER HEIMS HEIM JOINT ROD END ENDS JOINTS | eBay

Gonna buy like 5 and keep some spares since I'm paranoid now lol.

Those aren't the correct size spacers.

What? They measure out just about exact, but I'll take your word for it haha.

They're close, but the ID isn't the same.

You're right, they're like 1mm too big, I measured 17/32". Dammit, there goes a waste of money lol. I bet it's their 7/16th that fits.

Answered your PM btw.

Any reason your website doesn't have the 4th gen disconnects?

My website doesn't have any disco's on them. These are something that I've never really wanted to mass produce. They're still available, but you'll have to PM me directly about them.

I have a set of used links for 5th gen if anyone is interested. I took the sway bar off.

Still available? I’m interested.

New sway bar link teaser!

These should be available on my site at some point in October. A few things about the new sealed ball joint end links. These ball joints are something that I've been working to produce for about a year now, and are made just for me. These will work my hex tube, both old and new! So anyone that bought links from me 2 years ago can replace the heim joints with the sealed ball joint. The studded end is also OEM thread and length, and will have a much better fit. The sealed ball joint is also a solid 1 piece design rather than a design with a welded stud.

Mike,

I have your front disconnecting swaybar links for the 5th gen 4runner.
How can i get 2 replacement spacers that the little pin goes through. Both of mine are all mushroomed on the bottom side cause they sometimes hit the outer part of the heim joint when steering is fully turned to one side or when the suspension is articulating while the sways are still connected.

Maybe use a coned/tampered spacer to its less likely to contact the heim joint?

Thanks,
Will

Anyone got any advice on oiling the heim joints? I can’t take the squeaking anymore haha.

You can use Triflow Uniball Lube or any PTFE dry lube on them.

I post the link since that page contains a sign up link. Marking them as "Sold Out" is the only way I can create a list. The list will allow me to email everyone on it once the product is available.

Will the new sealed joints be available on the 4th gen disconnects?
