I got stuck in a mud pit today up to my bumper. Had some guy yank me out but it wasn't a very straight pull. He had to gun it pretty hard a couple times before I was free. During the process I bent my draglink. As we were getting ready to leave for home, my sway bar links wouldn't line up. Took alot of prying to hook them up. He pulled from my front hitch, could the frame or something be bent? Any ideas?

Could have tweaked the subframe especially if it was a full-size yanking on you.

I'll get a pic up afterwhile. I just spent and hour washin all the stupid mud off. What's the sub-frame? Just the frame rail? And how do you tell if its bent?

Unibody's don't have frame rails.

Piper645

Man that never gets old. What do you call the rails that run the full length of the vehicle?

jmm0122

Im trying to find said rails. Haha. No rails on a unibody, its all one piece of the body. I would call it the sub frame I suppose.

Piper645

Perhaps uni-body rails is more to your liking?

jmm0122

Nahh, because there are no rails.

Here are some of the pictures I just took. The sway bar is attached but I had to hammer it on. One of the adjustable sway links is as long as it will go and the other is as short as it would go. But it still took a hammer. Let me know if theres a place you want me to zoom in. The tie-rod is tweaked just enough to throw the tow off 1/8 of an inch.

drag link looks maybe bowed a bit but nothing special. were you on unlevel ground when putting the swaybar links on?

try to get a picture that shows the frame so we can see if its straight. You know, the frame rails. Thats right, I said frame rails
