Hey...anyone know about lubing sway bar links on a 2000 4x4 cc dak???
Someone told me it'll help that annoying rear end hop/shuttle over bumps at highway speed....
I had a look at my truck and the front sway bar is bolted to the lower cntrl arm(no links) just
some rubber bushings.....And the rear does have links so i took them out and lubed them.But they weren't seized.....Anyone else have this hop/shuttle at hwy speeds over bumps?????
How do you get rid of it???

The hopping has nothing to do with the sway bar bushings. The suspension is a little too stiff. Any suspension mods? Factory shocks? What tires? Try letting about 5psi out of each rear tire and see what happens.
