resolved: 97 ram 1500 4WD SLT Laramie 5.9L
« on: July 15, 2010, 01:42:39 am »
all set now I got lucky and found the same truck and setup.

I had the links on the right way but the bar was upside down and glad I made sure before tightening it down and what not everything is new and would hate to go through all of it again over something simple and silly like this lol.

so I replaced the whole front end on my truck and started with the sway bar assembly rebuilt everything and now back down to the puttin the sway bar assembly back in.

the problem is I forgot it's orientation of the bar and the links but somehow remebered to rebuild the axle shaft u joints knuckle hub bearing tie rod's control arm steering damper ball joints etc. but somehow forgot how the easiest part goes back on  :dunno

searched the net for 6 hours and nothing I have a chilton and haynes and both there pics counterdicked themselve's in the pic's and not sure if that was spelled right  :P

went to town and could not find the same truck to compare except a 2wd that dont have the same setup so it was a wasted trip  :(

all I need is a picture of the end links from a side view or a picture of the sway bar and its link ends right behind the tire.

what I need to know is if the end links hang down from the frame mount or if they stand on it and the sway bar itself curve's a little toward the end near the end links and I was wondering if the curve should be facing the motor upwards or if it should be facing the ground downwards.

there stock parts and I cannot believe I cannot find a pic of them anywhere that match mine.

if anyone could help me or provide pics it would be great I think I could have redid everyting in the same time I spent just looking for the right way the sway bar goes back on and its driving me nuts now  :laugh2:

thanks for the reply I checked it and did not help but I found a truck like mine and compared and finally all set now.

it was the last thing to go on and having that feeling of being so close and then stuck with something in the end that is so simple compared to what I already went through this was driving me crazy but I am all set now thanks.
