Help
So i took the front sway bar off my jeep and a few days later the track bar bolt came off while i was driving. Now is this due to the sway bar being off or is it one of those things that stuff happens? Without the sway bar does it have a lot of pressure on the sway bar bolt when i turn?

Nah. Good reason to put a wrench/socket on bolts when you're under your Jeep though. Just to check.

Tighten up everything you can get a wrench or socket on while you're down there. and no, the sway bar caused no issues.

And make sure all the bolts are on the track bar mount not jus 1 into the upper ones. Make em tight. Without a sway bar you'll get more bounce in turns, in a sense, is you're track bar stock???

I took the sway bar off. Few days later the track bar bolt snapped off.Then i put a new bolt in the track bar. Then put the sway bar back on thinking that the sway bar had something to do with the track bar bolt snapping off.
