Should I be pissed?

[dragon_ram]

6900 miles, 4 months old. Had this clunk getting worse over last few weeks. Me thinks, it’s a truck and it clunks. Get the spidey-sense last couple days, and behold, my rear sway bar is hanging on the link by... literally... a thread. The 3” of bolt exposed is allowing the bar to bang around causing the clunk.

So a call to a dealership and I get the torque numbers (74 for the lower link nut, 55 for the upper FYI) so I can render my vehicle safe again.

Question is - should I be pissed? I’m not one to get offended for offended’s sake. Was this a critical safety component? Not really... though it IS suspension and I HAVE been towing 10000 lbs over 6 weeks straight with my wife and kids.

Just really disappointed.

You could get pissed, but in the end what does that get you, just torque it down and keep on trucking!

Actually it was both end links finger loose.

I’m surprised they gave you the torque values, probably more than my dealer would have done over the phone.
