{"product_id":"front-kdss-billet-link","title":"Dr KDSS Front KDSS Billet Ink  for 4Runner (2010-2024) \u0026 GX460","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you’re serious about how your suspension performs, this is a functional upgrade—not a cosmetic one. This billet aluminum replacement front KDSS fixed link eliminates the binding caused by the factory rubber bushing, allowing your front sway bar and suspension to cycle more freely under load. Designed specifically for KDSS-equipped vehicles, it replaces the OEM passenger-side fixed link with a fully greaseable, serviceable performance pivot built for real off-road abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010–2024 4Runner \/ GX460 \/ Prado
