    Hello everyone.
    I love the forum and Im hoping that you all can save my butt yet again. The front sway bar on my truck is severely rusted and needs to be replaced. Does anyone here know if they was a design change on these? My current one uses moog K90432 style links. The only replacement bars I can locate are different.

    Thanks in advance for any advice. I tried using the search feature but was unable to locate any relevant posts.

    John,
    Thanks, thats a relief to hear. Ive been able to find images of the our style on the online parts store but it always seems to give a pn for the other style. Ill give the local dealership a call Monday.

    Man, if solid sway bar……take it off and use some elbow grease.
    Sand/primer/paint
    IMO even if rusted, the performance of the part will be very close to a brand new one. Now if deteriorated with rust past 5mm guess I would Replace

    Coil Springs same premise
    Never heard of a SB/spring needing to be RR’d bc of rust…….there is a plethora of more important parts that will fail from rust b4 a SB fails

    Unfortunately there is severe pitting and scaling at the pasenger side bushing. The rest of the bar is solid.

    Your best bet is contact one of the online oem toy dealerships and give em your vin to be 100% sure.....


    looks like salvage is 130.....maybe free ship....

    or $160 with online toy dealerships with the sure to be $30 ship , or maybe even more...

    Retail at local dealer is at $190.....but they may match or counter...

    If you order online from a dealership......make sure you find eta before you pay......
