Thought I'd ask if anyone has a source for purchasing a more robust sway bar link? Yup one of mine broke at the end. I have found the OEM ones but if I could find a better one for a bit more why not!?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Thanks Vic, I actually was searching on that page before and those trucks all have lifts, I did not replace my links when I put on Bilstein shocks in 2016. I was hoping to find similar to OEM but tougher. There are so many out there and almost all made in China. Not sure of what quality it is. Thanks for the effort!

If Cognito or Kryptonite brands are available, I would not hesitate to purchase these.

Hellwig is what I used on my 2014 F350, but  I’m not sure if they make anything for a Colorado.

Thanks Vic for the recommendations...I'll check out both those. Steve I have the Hellwig sway bar on the rear but I did not know if they make parts for the front as all i need are the two end links nt the whole bar...but I'll definitely check all these. Appreciated.

Hey Vic ... a big shout out thanks to you. Even though their website Cognito said they did not have them for the Colorado, I called CarID and gave them Vin# and as their website said it fits! They checked with the tech dept and they also said yes. I sure hope so. They are twice the price but look very robust (USA made) and same design as for the HD GM trucks.

Putting on my troll hat. I wish we could get away from the term sway bar, which it really isn't. It's an anti-roll bar—which is admittedly an awkward term besides the potential for confusing it with a roll bar. Stabilizer bar would be a nice compromise.

 

Troll hat removed.

I agree... when  first heard the term I was confused... my mechanic calls it a stabilizer ... I can use as much stabilizing as I can get!
