    This morning I'm walking out of Wally world and see something hanging from the front of my 11 taco. Get closer and realize it's the passender mount for my fabtech sway bar. Few profanities later I look closer to see my end link covered in grease from the cv boot, and it's lose as f. Was told that I can just replace the nut and bolt but wasn't sure so I'm bringing it here to get more advice.

    Can I replace the lower link bolt and nut and be good or do I need a new end link. It seems this has been going on a bit seeing how the backside of the nut is rounded out a bit.20230128_110858.jpg 20230128_110906.jpg

    ^Just replace the spacers and hardware. End link looks serviceable but is on the wrong side of the sway bar. The heim joint should be toward the spindle. You'll also need to replace the cut CV boot.

    Thank you for the reply. The gent I bought the truck from did all the work himself, but I'm finding out he didn't really know what he was doing and I'm slowly learning my way around it
