Product Description
KDSS Front Sway Bar End Adapters (4Runner/GX460/GX470 2009-2023)
Kdss was never designed to have the suspension raised / lifted. When you introduce a suspension system that raises the ride height, the bushing(s) at the lower control arm(s) get into a bad angle and the bushing(s) binds up. This accelerates the wear of the bushing(s) which eventually you will have metal on metal contact with the sway bar and bushing bracket. These KDSS sway bar end adapters correct that bad bushing angle and will extend the life of the bushing for many many 10’s of thousands of miles. Possibly longer.
Inherently, when a suspension or lift kit is added , some shocks allow for a more travel … ie extended travel and or long travel. As the front suspension is lifted or it droops out under the suspension cycle , the front kdss sway bar swings back towards the motor. If you have enough suspension down travel, the hard link not only gets into a bad angle, it also will contact the frame in some cases, putting your down travel to a dead stop as the system can no longer swing back. The passenger side will run out of down travel because of the fixed-length link. The driver's side doesn’t because it has a shock that can extend down. These KDSS bushing adapters push the sway bar forward away from the frame so there’s no contact allowing more droop.
Adapters now only come in black!! Only for 2010 + 4runner / gx460 / prado 150 with kdss. NOW FITS THE GX470!
* 470 customers, we recommend to install with Drkdss bushing bracket!! IF NOT, you have to modify the hooks and the holes for oem bushing bracket!!
Please read below before purchasing !!
Sold as a pair (driver and passenger side) made from 7075 aircraft grade billet aluminum. Version 1 ( v1.0 discontinued) made from chromoly and also had 4 mounting holes. V2 is 3 mounting holes! V3 is same as v2 but just allows the 470 to use adapters now. 470 CUSTOMERS MUST USE IN COMBINATION WITH BUSHING BRACKETS!! IF NOT, you must modify not only the hooks but also the holes on the oem 470 bushing bracket !
Please allow 36 -48 hours to fulfill! Can not be combined with front KDSS drop spacer! Both the drop spacer and these adapters push the sway bar forward. Using both will have the sway bar too much forward and crashing into the front crossmember / skid plate. Not only that, the kdss drop spacer also drops it. This was Designed for around the 2.25” + suspension lift on kdss equipped 2010-22 4runner / gx460 / prado150 / gx470 that has a bad bushing angle. If the bushing angle is not that off. I wouldn’t worry about getting these adapters and just get the bushing bracket with adjustable mounting. If you have extended travel shocks with a low ride height you should combine these adapters and the Drkdss bushing bracket.
- Designed for stock kdss like mounts on lower control arms.
- High grade anodizing on all for superior protection
- Allows the suspension to cycle cleaner as there is no bind in the bushings under suspension cycle
- Keeps the sway bar up nice and high away from skid plate and objects
- Corrects the out of whack bushing angle
- Extends the life of the bushings
- Easier to re-install when changing bushings
- Allows full droop when you have extended travel or long travel setup (Total Chaos +2 LT for KDSS)
- Lightens up the spring rate on the front sway bar
- Creates a more stout floor jack point
Notes:
** If you have wide wheels (9" or wider) you may rub your wheels on the bushing brackets before you can get to full lock
*** PLEASE ALLOW A LEAD TIME OF 2-3 WEEKS FOR PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING
