Sway Bar Link

Ok fella's no idea how I did this but at some point in the past I bent the crap out of my Passenger side sway bar link. I mean it looks like a twisty straw. It appears to have happened some time ago and the way it is bent I backed over something and the only time I can think of that I would have was over a year ago. Anyway I have not noticed and adverse stearing or suspensions problems and the only reason I even noticed it is I was scrubbing the wheels and saw it. I can't find a napa or autozone or orielly that carries it. any suggestions besides the stealership? How urgent is it that I replace it?

I don't know what year or model your truck is, but an end link for a 2000 F350 4x4 is under $50 retail, or about $36 online.

If you don't do much towing, take 'em off!

Take off sway bars ?!?!

agree if you need articulation off road...
and it's fine if you do no turning on road...
but I like not having to LEAN so much in a turn

I took my front and rears both off, freed it up quite a bit. There wasn't that much of a difference with the body roll in the corners but my pro comp springs are so friggin' stiff that I was desperate for a softer ride.

cvaughan- I might have my factory ones still. I'm heading out of town this weekend (dunes baby!!) right from work so I won't be able to check this weekend. But before you go and buy 'em, let me look. If I have them (have a HUGE box of factory parts from when I lifted it), I'll just ship 'em out to you. That is if you can wait.
