Had my 2003 Trailblazer in for an oil change at the dealership, who has always been fair in helping me out with doing repairs that I can no longer do myself due to bad health, but when they noticed the swaybar links were loose again after they have tightened them up a couple of times before, told me that I would need to replace the links in order for them to stay tight now. The links that are on it are maybe 3 years old.
Wouldn't installing new links be just a temporary solution, since they will more than likely loosen up again over time?
If the sway bar links constantly come loose wouldn't the sway bar itself be egged out where the links are inserted?
I'm not familiar with the front suspension setup on these. More familiar with 60' through 80's vehicles & how to repair them.
If new sway bar links will put an end to this constant banging then I would replace them again.
If it was up to me & I was working on it I would put Loctite on them & snug the heck out of them or put a nylon locking nut on them, but can't convince them to do it my way.
Thank you
Mark
