sway bar release mechanism repairable?

[timeslayer]

hi, im wondering if the rear sway bar release mech is serviceable? mine seems to be seized up and the ball and cup joint worn out also. anyone know where i can source new ball and cup? im wanting to keep the release mech as opposed to going to a constant hook up as i guess i would have to manufacture a mount for the non release link pin and dont think icbf atm.

I don't think the ball joint is repairable
But you can pull the unit apart .
You can also weld a hemi joint to where the ball was and it will last about 1/2 years, have fixed mine several times, great device would love together another for my ute

i was thinking of welding the ball onto the sway bar thought that would weaken the sway bar and it would end up snapping the end off.
could you describe what u mean by hemi joint or post a pic? at least the unit is serviceable thanks ill have to pull it out and see what its problem is

Stuffed hemi joint or rod end on bottom
Really stuffed one on top

Talk to this guy, he has extended sway bar links might have an option for a replacement
