I just bought a new jeep 1996. It looks like they have hit something in the front, the sway bar links were bent towards the coil almost bent in half. I put new links on and now they are starting to bend? please help what could it be?

Im not sure what lift, but it has one and yes the links are stock. The ride vibrates a little at times when accelerating.
