Re: Sway bar problems

I wish i could post a pic but i guess i need to take one. You don,t have to get under the truck, just look at the upper link connector in the wheel well of the drivers side

Sway bar problems

Ok, I just looked at an 2012 wagon and the sway bar end link on the drivers side also, like my 09, is hitting the frame. My dealer says it is due to wear and tear but I now have seen 4 trucks all power wagons with this problem. Please look under your trucks and see cause i feel this is a problem and...

Re: Chains

Thanks for your thoughts. I have already gotten the chains and there are no cams on them. I will look into that for sure and I dont mind modifying them. These will be used slow like not on the hwy. Oh ya the 7mm boron steel square link for my tire did not come with a cam option.

Re: Chains

the chains are 7mm square link with no cam but built for the tire size and i will use rubbers to keep snug. I will only be using them off road, driving slow, in sucky conditions like to make a pass in death valley to get to the springs.

Re: Chains

Thanks for getting back to me. I use the truck all the time in snow on pavement and never have needed chains till I get off the pavement and head to the hot springs. Last year got turned around due to no chains. I am running 285/75/17 kt2 and I think I might trim my wheel well liner just a little, i...

Re: engauge 4 low

$125.00 bic and now the truck is going back to the dealer so they can get the air out of my brake lines and try to fix my sway bar so it stays centered. The dealer thinks bushings and end links will keep it centered but i dont think that will work. Oh ya they want $750 to replace worn bushings and w...

Sway bar problems

For a long time now my sway bar has moved and one bolt on the end link hits the frame sometimes. I have had it at the dealer and they have no clue how to fix it and keep it centered on the truck. Has anyone else had this problem. The last 2 other power wagons i have checked also are 1/4" from hitten.
