    Unhappy Sway bar tie rod links replacement

    While the rt was in the shop for the PO174 fix. Canister was plugged, replaced.
    They did the test ride and noticed loud clicking noise.
    Problem was worn out sway bar tie rod links. They were replaced.
    Bike has 33k miles. Is this normal for them to wear out this quick?
    This was warranty.
    But 4 weeks sure seems a long time for these repairs.

    The stock links are plastic and they can break. It only takes 1/2 hour to change the links. You might want to check out the BajaRonAnti Sway Bar and billet aluminum links. One of the best modifications you can make on a Spyder

    sorry it was warranty cause you have to wait for them to order them and recieve them. Stock has been a major problem. BajaRon has better ones but not under warranty. Glad your back on the road...
