Sway bar bracket fix?





Does this require welding Jb weld or can I rip a part from a pick a part to get this fixed?

Take it to Auto Zone and match it up to a sway bar bushing set off the shelf. Probably cheap at the dealer. Maybe free at the junkyard. Your options are endless. How does it drive with the bar removed? I'm thinking about ditching mine all together. None of my other solid axle trucks run a bar as I feel they handle better and ride more comfortably without...

I’m probably going to take it all the way off soon just haven’t gotten to it. It rides a bit loose but not all that bad. That is with only half the bar broken loose. I’m used to a torsion bar equipped Jeep though so not sure I’m the best to ask.

If it's broken loose anywhere it's not doing anything.

It’s still doing some just because it’s still a bar attached at 3 points controlling the amount of body movement perceived inside the rig. It’s not fully floating.

im going to head down to the pick a part with a wad of cash after the va benes hit and rip what I need off another axle. Contemplating looking at a universal anti rock torsion bars like I had on the Jeep. Not sure if anyone is running that kind of setup though. These rigs might be a little too heavy to run it.

In that condition the only way you will perceive it's presence from inside the vehicle is if it rattles!
