swaybar endlinks...?

REAPER STRAIN · 11-27-2005, 01:49 PM

I didnt know that the front had a swaybar or swaybar endlinks???? I thought that was only for the rear. Anyone got a location or part number on a front swaybar endlink?

***Eye8Pussies*** · 11-27-2005, 02:57 PM

^ no idea....but the reason why people sometimes don't think there isn't a swaybar in the front of the gen 3 camry is because the stock one is so thick that there is no need for an aftermarket one

REAPER STRAIN · 11-27-2005, 04:40 PM

So there IS a front swaybar. But does it have a endlink that can go bad and need changing? Or bushings or whatever?

RedPhoenix · 11-27-2005, 04:51 PM

no end link on the front.

WhiteRabbit · 11-27-2005, 04:54 PM

***Durrby*** · 11-27-2005, 06:26 PM

On the 97 LE there is a sway bar & a vertical link connecting . I have a worn one right now.
I had clunking noises particularly in cold from worn sway bar bushings in front-- tricky but possible to replace yourself . Squeaking grunchy noises in my front are a result of improper alignment of upper shock mount -- I am told . started after shock/strut replacement. Let us know what the link costs?

well, i replaced my struts recently, and after a day of driving, i heard a clunkity-clunk after every bump...i kinda expected...my springs had just finished getting seated. i found this out by poppin tha hood, and bouncin' the front end, and watching the tops of the struts bouncin up, droppin back down and clunkin'. took my 22mm socket, and 1/2" drive ratchet and torqued 'em down better...no prob's now!

Yeah after I replaced my shocks/springs, I too get a 'clunk' noise when I hit bumps (while turning). I can feel it on the foot pedal, but I can't tell if its coming from the driver or passenger side. I was told the spring wasn't properly set in the strut, which I know it is

WhiteRabbit · 11-27-2005, 07:35 PM

hmmmmmmmmmm...dont know if i want to lower anymore

Same problem... I had the car lowered and it was fine with stock struts.. put in KYB's and now 6 months later I have a clunk and can feel it in the petal... I am thinking that it is the strut mounts in my car but idk if anyone else has any suggestions..

I noticed that it will rarely happen with just pressing on the breaks.. only happens some of the time for me... speed bumps being the most prevalent

I also had to tighted down the bolt on one strut after it was installed... but just one!

there are more threads showing on one side then the other.. gayness

I think sometime when I have some time I am going to take it apart and redo it again.

Would the bearing upside down cause clunking? Its a long shot, but i MIGHT of somehow did BOTH upside down.

Im curious.. I just dont know why.

WhiteRabbit · 11-27-2005, 11:03 PM

wonder if tokicos clunk...?

keep us updated red.
