I installed the Daizen swaybars a while back (2-3 months). Great improvement in handling. However, I have noticed that the endlinks keep coming loose on the front (the 2 bolts that attach the swaybar to the endlink). Did other people loctite these on? I am using the specified torque for install.

Also, I thought my rear was holding fine, but I heard a clunk when I went through a big dip today, and when I looked at my rear bar the driver's side endlink was completely disconnected, I guess the nut fell off. To make matters worse, this endlink is bent now as well (I am not blaming the Daizen sways for bending the endlink, I think it bent because it became half loose).

Are other people having this problem? Using loctite? I don't want to loctite the rear because I may want to adjust it later.

daizen recommends using loctite in their instruction.


Did you use a hex tool to tighten the nut?

Yup.....use loctite on all my bolts...waited a few hundred miles and did re-tight on all the bolts to makes everthing is good.

Yes, definitely use Loctite on the nuts and bolts. I believe the Daizens' end flats are thicker than the OEM sways and this does not allow as many threads to be engaged when tightening the nuts/bolts.

Yep...loctite it....even the rears....its easy to re-adjust the rear endlinks even with loctite.....loctite is NOT like superglue.
