    Help I've searched the forum and even googled it but can't seem to find the size nut I need for a 2014 4x4 sway bar end link. The end link bolts into the spindle, and then a nut threads to that. Anybody know what nut size that is??

    Not sure of the thread size but it requires a 17mm to remove if that helps any

    So the nut came loose and flew off into oblivion, my sway bar link fell down and destroyed my CV boot which in turn grenaded grease all over my wheel well. image.jpg

    I'm sorry to hear that. Yet another reason to remove the entire assembly. Best of luck

    If you weren't in CA I could just give you some lol

    Agreed on removing the thing... took me all of 5mins to get used to no sway bar and i live in some seriously curvy terrain

    I've heard the front suspension articulates much better while off-road with it removed. And yeah my truck did seem to handle better on the trail when the sway bar fell off and tore open my CV boot.
