Hey guys...

Just a heads up, I was driving today and heard a weird noise (cluncking sound) in my rear. For some reason, I knew it was my rear Daizen sways....so I checked them out.

First I thought the bushing bracket fell off....but it was still on there. Come to find out it was the end-link bolt.....it was really loose...I could turn it with my finger....luckily, it didn't fall off...the noise was from it banging on my springs.

Question...it is ok to add a locking washer, or threadlocker on that end-link bolt?

if it doesn't tighten on it's own then call carson or go to the nearest lexus dealer and buy a new one...To my knowledge they are not that much...

thread locker imo is fine , are you using a allen key with the 14mm wrench to tighten , mine had come loose once as well , i made it real tight , has not happened again

yeah, the same happened to me when i first got it, i noticed it when they were putting my wheels on. pretty scary thought that i was driving it disconected for awhile.

can you take a pix of what you are talking about... im a bit confused when you say end link bolt..is that the screw that screws into the bushing bracket?

no end links are the very tiny little rod at the two ends of the sway barts, connecting the sway to the suspension of the car
