Guys need some help. Stuck on the road after a blown right front tire. Got the spare on but as I was changing it I noticed this thing was broken. Not sure what it is and whether or not it's safe to drive it broken. Any help would be awesome.

 

Just a sway bar end link you'll be fine

 

Fine for how long, 100 miles be ok?

 

Just don't drive like you stole it, and you should be ok, you'll most likely experience increased body roll around corners, etc, but I don't forsee anything too major.

 

You'll be fine for a while, its probably been broke for a bit and you didn't even know it. I know I didn't know bout mine till I changed the shocks

 

yeah you will be ok, mine was broken on mine when i bought it, i drove it a week before i bought new ones, cost me like eleven bucks apiece

 

like everyone else said. its just a stabilizer end link. easy repair but nothing that is too important. youll drive fine just some extra body roll around turns. you may hear something clanking around though. that could get pretty annoying.

when you repair it do both sides. the end links only cost like $20, or less. torque em to 16ft/lbs.

 

Alright guys, thanks so much for all the help. Getting a new tire right now then I'm off to oriellys to buy the parts. Will I need to jack the truck up at all to replace them?

 

Nope I did mine right on the ground

 

x2 a torch might be a helpful tool. everytime i have replaced a set of these ive had to either beat the **** out of em, cut em or just let em soak...never had a torch on hand. easy installation...can be a bitch to uninstall them stock links.

when you install the new ones just be sure not to over tighten them. they say to torque em to 16ft/lbs...you can pretty much hand tighten them. if you see the bushings starting to get squished really bad i would back the nut off. youll wear them out quick if they are too tight.
