Link between rear sway bar and suspension mount

[gdp_samson]

Hi,

the metal round link between the rear sway bar and the suspension mount, pops out of its rubber internal.

You can see in the picture that the top part is already at a different angle than the rubber mount...Don't know what caused it, but is was lying on the sway bar with its rubber still on the bottom suspension mount.

What could be the reason ? everything seems 'stock'...just replace and bye bye problem ?

Looks like the bushings are degraded.

You can replace the whole part. Pelican carries them.

They are left and right handed, you'll need one of each.

thanks ! saw another post recently with exactly the same issue, coincidence

Add some grease to the cup. It will create a suction helping the ball stay in the cup. Replacing all the bushings is good maintenance.

Tony, you lost me on tour comment. ???

Don’t see a “tour” comment.

I see! ‘Your comment”!
Since no year, or even model was stated, I thought it was an earlier ‘74+, that had the ball welded to the swing arms. Now that I take a closer look, it appears to be a later model. I would still change all the bushings, first, to see if it corrects the alignment to the drop links.
Good for folks to state year and model when they ask for assistance.

my guess is the link is installed upside down , 180 degrees out , on the wrong side, or all three.

good luck.
