Sway bar keeps coming loose

I hate the ride of stage 1.... I am hoping to upgrade to 6112s and 5160s in the rear and I hope it will minimize the crappy ride

 

I was mistaken, after reading a little more the second pic is correct. Look at page 20 and 21 it talks about flipping the sway bar and using thread locker on the jam nut

Wonder if it matters that I don't have the coilovers?

 

If the endlink isn't sitting correctly in the spindle, Loctite doesn't seem like a great idea. In theory, angles could change and cause shifting where you don't want shifting.

 

not sure the coilovers would effect it, but upgrades are always fun.

 

I have a video of how it's sitting and loose but won't let me upload it

 

Upload to YouTube and link?

 

Got a pic of it

 

Looks like it's seated correctly, but maybe over extended in terms of the angle.

 

Thanks! Another thing I noticed, steering wheel shakes when it's tight and flipped! When it gets loose steering wheel doesn't shake Could the link have anything to do with steering shake??

 

Ya know, the joint in the endlink could be bad. I'm sure it was moving all sorts of weird after the sway bar was flipped.

 

ok i contacted pro comp, they said YES you are supposed to flip the sway bar to where its not seen, so not factory position... for future reference if anyone is wondering

 

Does that make your endlink line up?

 

ill check in a few, trucks at the shop getting the tires balanced

 

the shop had to flip it back to factory position becuase he could not get the alignment on spec with it flipped like pro comp wanted. so itll hand lower in front which is fine with me.

 

I would let pro comp know that... if you just got it then you think pro comp would fork out the bills to correct this problem?

 

if it is on backwards and something was to happen you will most likely void the warranty that pro comp comes with as well

 

the guy i talked to at procomp didnt seem to enthused nor knew to much about what i was asking, all the pics i google of tacomas with pro comp 6" db have them hanging in factory position.

 

Idk man I have had good service with them. My truck has it the correct way and it performs very well and alignment is perfect (just the factory shocks suck) I am a stickler for warranty so I would just make sure it wont void anything?

 

maybe your kit is different becuase a different year model, my shop said he talked to pro comp, ill see what they said when i get off work.
