Hello all, My Sway bar was hitting my CV axle, as the title says. So I crawled under some trucks at the dealer to see what stock trucks are like and it turns out that the new TB/AT4's have longer end links then my 2020 TB. The new end link has a 3 inch rod vs the 1-3/4 inch OE part.

 

The part number for the longer end link is P/N:85590925

What was the price on those?

 

I noticed when I put my 5100’s on at TB height I had to loosen up the sway bar bolts and pull it down from where it rode stock.

Have a 2020 rst Bilstein 6112 at 2inch made 1/2 spacers where the sway bar  bolts to frame to lower bar so to not put to much stress on the links. No Rubbing.  Gm parts direct has them for under 20 dollars a link under that part number 85590925 you posted. But if I search 2020 TB vs No TB both come up with the same part number 84367821. The sight won't give sway bar link parts numbers for anything 2022 and up. What year truck did you crawl  under?

I got that part number from a 2023 custom TB. Those links are also on all the ZR2 and new AT4's as well. I was able to reuse the old nuts from my original links.

What size lift in in your truck for the sway bar link to hit the axle?

I put a 3inch lift in my 2021 no TB and my sway bar hits my cv axle also.

There should be some kind of spacer to drop the sway bar or longer sway bar end links to prevent that.

I have the front leveled 1" and it's a TB. So we should be around the same.

So you did install these end links on your 2020 with no issues? I am having the same problem with my 2021 RST z71 with RC3.5” and thinking about trying this for the solution but can’t find much confirming they are compatible.

Did you remove the sway bar at any point? I think you have it backwards if it's rubbing, even with a lift.

So thanks to the Facebooks, was pointed to this page. 20 rst at 50k, 5100 front set to level. Noticed a rubbing noise while turning right, and randomly other times, but predominantly right. Seems like this might be the fix so ordered the longer ends and fingers crossed.

OMG, I'm sorry for the late reply. Yes, they bolted into my factory swaybar and A-arms.

Hopefully it fixes it for you! I imaging you'd see marks on the cv axle like in the pics if this is the issue.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
