  • Sway Bar Snapped

    Just dropped the old girl off for her 300k service at the local dealer and got a phone call from them later in the morning as was advised that the front sway had snapped, not unbolted but snapped off :!: . As I don't drive the old girl too often anymore, I did think it had a bit of body roll but I put that down to the 2" lift.

    Am I right to assume that when this snapped it would have made a bit of a racket? I have not seen it as yet so I don't know where it has broken.

    It's also proved bloody hard to find a replacement in a hurry as well. It appears they don't break too often and I have to travel up to Gosford to get the only after market one on the shelf that can be found. Toyota want about a week and $375 for an original and 4 days and $290 for an after market one. Picked mine up through Pedders for $252. Not sure of the brand though but is an uprated one.

    Bugger :!: :!:

    I've read of this on a 90 series (I'm sure it was on here actually). Pretty rare but being a big piece of spring steel you can imagine how it could if there's a fault in it's manufacture.
    If it broke between the D bushes it would be unlikely you would hear any noise.

    Interestingly I saw a 120 sway bar on Ebay awhile ago (Brand new) But a quick search shows it gone.

        My rear sway bar popped out of its bushes late last year at LCMP and it did make a rattle, enough for me to want to get out and check out what the noise was.

        I'd be looking for a wrecker and a 2nd hand sway bar...
