Sway Bar Issue

[Daytony]

Today I was checking the tires.... both front tires have lumps all around the outer tread. They only been on there for about 6 months so something is wrong, did some investigating and found 1 of my front outer sway bar bolts snapped in half.


With the 1 bolt broken will it cause the wheel to turn outward? I have ordered my set of energy suspension bolts/bushings. This would surely explain why my truck drives like a hay wagon with rope steering and both of my new front tires are pretty much junk now.

Can't wait untill the tahoe shows me something else tomorrow

How many miles do you have on them?

The new tires... about 5K.

My old set of tires did this also but they were also recalled for some defects. Its probably been like this for 2 years. When you put the steering wheel straight the passenger side looks fine but the drivers wheen its kicking out at the front quite a bit and thats the side with the broken sway bar end bolt, I just noticed all this today.

I noticed the other day that my front sway bar links are junk to. The bushings basically rotted out. Time for some new ones, or maybe a new sway bar.

I would say that is not really related to the sway bar. Go get an alignment. Some of the tie rods links might be going bad.

Sway bar has nothing to do with the steering,just controls body roll (weight transfer on turns).As stated above get an alignment.

After you get it lined up just put rotate the tires if they aren't wore to bad.

It looks like your alignment is off or a joint or bushing is worn out. Sway bar itself would not do that.

Thanks, looks like a front end rebuild is in order
