safe to drive?

[bigneilsen]

See pictures.

The sway bar link pin has come out of the strut, if i can get it to the mechanic they will fix under warranty (im guessing dodgy install, either didnt tighten the nut or it wasnt even used). It makes a pretty bad clunkin sound when steering around tight corners and goin over bumps. This has happened only after 3000km after install.

What this be okay to drive safely if i was taken it slow?

Possibly. Dont drive fast and you might be allright

How far do you need to go?

 

[bigneilsen]

Around 15ks.

Also the link pin will need to be replaced ay? That thread has been seriously bent

Considering it's been thrashing around, yes.

It'll be an easy job to fix. Likely they didnt do up the nut properly.

Only 15km, you'll probably be right so long as you take it slow, but personally, I'd get it towed if you can.

im not to good with suspension parts, what is the sway bar for? and if something was to go wrong, what would it be?

 

[m1lky]

It'll be fine you'll just have more suspension roll. Don't go cornering hard. Your shocks and springs will handle the bumps fine without it.

All the 4wd guys drop the sway bar to get more suspension travel.

Why dont you just replace it yourself? On the other end use an Allen key to hold the shaft from turning an loosen the nut with a spanner.

15kms will be fine mate just take it easy and replace it as soon as possible. It's not a hard job if you have a few basic tools. Rather then pay someone unless they are doing it under warranty like you said.

 

[bigneilsen]

yeah sweet, ill just take it easy then. i'd fix it but because it was the mechanics fault, and he can replace it at his cost not mine.

 

[wattos_ute]

Sweet as if he's gonna fix it at his time and cost. Too easy
