Default Broken sway bar and links.

Hey guys as the title says I broke my rear sway and links. I'm running a TF BB 2.5". What links do I order and should I stick with stock sway bar? Thanks for your time. Cheers, Aaron.

How did they break? We're they TF parts? If so did you contact them?

No clue how they broke! The sway bar was stock, the links TF. I'm not worried about dealing with them. My buddy runs an auto parts store so I can get them really cheap. Just wondering what size. Cheers.

I would say the same size, but I'm hesitant because they broke. Basically stock length plus 2.5"

seems strange that both the sway bar and the sway bar links would break. I could see one or the other but both? I have heard of TF links breaking.

When you replace the broken rear sway bar, I highly recommend Full Traction's HD rear sway bar. Has 3 different firmness settings, reduces or eliminates any under steer. Less body roll too. I love mine.

Even if you aren't looking for a replacement from teraflex, I would certainly let them know about the issue so they can prevent the issue in the future.


I'm curious about how they broke as well. A shear in the middle, ends torn off, bent like a pretzel??
