Help... SAWs rubbing on sway bar!

hey gang... here's my dilemma. i just had SAWs coilovers installed. i noticed some squeaking so i looked underneath and on the driver's side (passenger side is fine), i found that the coil is butted right up against the sway bar. so i put some grease and that fixed the problem, no more squeaking.

but i figure the grease will rub away eventually, so i need a permanent fix. i'm thinking i need new sway bar end links.

anyone have any recommendations where i can get these?

oh, i have a 2009 TRD Sport 4x4 DC LB.

thanks all!

Try Toytec Lifts...They have a "relocate" kit. Some spacers to move the sway bar brackets away from the coils...

 

Sweet I'll check them out. Thanks.

 

No prob...I hope they will fix your rubbing issue!!

 

ya i noticed the same issue with my procomp kit. im just gonna relocate the sway bar.if i remember correctly the guys at icon told me id have to just forgot

 

i have saw's with the relocate kit and it rubs on drivers side, fixed yesterday by takeing the sway bar off, soo much better.

 

this is what i ordered from toytec: hopefully this will resolve the issue.

bajamoon, i don't think removing the swaybar is a good idea, right? doesn't that detract from handling performance?

 

You'll get more body roll and sway during driving...but you CAN do it...It's personal preferance really...I wouldn't want to drive a lifted truck without one....but people do ::shrug::

 

hey brunes have tried it, i waited a long time before i took it off, tested it getting on the freeway on ramp and not that bad, my 05 f150 had more body roll.

 

Some people like the softer feel. I have a scion tC in my drive way too...and that thing feels like it's on rails compared to the truck...and I still want to install a strut tower bar in front, strut braces in back, and an upgraded sway bar kit. I REALLY like stick to the road.

It's a personal choice...I like them...but it's all about what you are comfortable with I guess...

 

ya im not a big fan of the body roll.ordered the relocation kit from toytec. like 30 bucks all together. only problem is im at the station the next 3 days so i cant install it yet. guess good thing is that i wont have to drive while im at the station either.

 

the relocater kit did not help mine at all, it would still rub the coilover.

 

do SAW still carry their replacement sway bar? i know when the c/o first came out they included a sway bar with the coilovers but then switched to the relocating kit later on

 

don't know, i have not seen it.

 

This is what came before the relocating kit

 

i just got back from camburg and got the kit.. it was only $20. So if you are in Socal, just drop by there.

 

got my sway bar relocater kit free with my coilovers, it is supposed to come with the kit, if i still have mine someone can have it, i might have tossed it.

 

anyone have any pictures or info on how the relocator goes on. pretty sure i know how its supposed to be just wanna make sure

 

it will only fit one way, goes in the stock location you can't put it in backwards, i tried.

 

I had this same problem with Sway a Ways rubbing the sway bar last summer when I installed them on my 2008. Everyone I talked to at Sway a Way acted like they never heard of the problem - yea right. I see they haven't redesigned their shock to eliminate the problem.

I fixed the problem by sending the Sway a Ways back and installing a set of 2.5" Icons. Problem solved.
