Hey gang-

One of my sway bar links is bent a bit, but not too badly. Is it good or a bad idea to remove it, bang it back into shape with a hammer and reinstall it? I am wondering what everyone's opinions are on this...will it make the sway bar link more susceptible to bend again and even more or is it a plausible fix. If not, I will just order a new one or maybe some quick discos. Or should I just leave it as is...it is bent about a quarter inch from being straight Thanks for your advice.

 

id either get disco's, or leave it alone....

 

Thanks for your help man!

 

1/4 inch isn't much. how did you bend it?

 

I have no idea how it happened. I just noticed it yesterday.

 

Sounds like an excellent excuse to get some quick discos.

 

Bend the other one to match.

Seriously, it isn't going to hurt anything that it is bent, but a set of discos is the way to go.

 

Like most have stated....time to empty your wallet and get some quick discos.

 

It'll only get weaker the more you bend it.... and something tells me that swaybar links are supposed to be a rigid part...



Upgrade vote from me too!


PS: Is it the front or the rear???
