Default no sway bar???

Hey guys/gals. I just noticed that I have no sway bar on my jeep. I could tell yesterday when driving her she was all over the place..:-(.. How hard would it be to install a sway bar so shes under more control when driving on the road?

easy, grab the parts from the junkyard and bolt them back on. I guess before you go to that trouble, check the weldnuts under in the unirail, should be 2 per side right behind the fron crossmemvber.
Oh..if you're talking about rear sway bar, I wouldnt bother.

Both the front and rear simply bolt up. Super easy to do.

Looks like the PO cut the pass side swaybar link bracket off.. i dont see it next to coil.

Theres also something hokey going on with that tierod and trackbar mount.

Can you take better pics of tierod where it looks to have been modified in center where it appears a stud is protruding upwards.
