Has anyone ever had this issue with leaving your sway bar disconnects connected while wheeling? they are the proper ones for my lift and my bump stops are correct. I just dont know what i could do to solve this issue. It poked thru my air box. I think the worse of the damage is done but i want to fix it, Specially if it is going to cause any issues

and yes i still need to do a bit more power washing...

wow... maybe cut the top of bolt ?

96_xj

yeah, looking at the damage its more than the bolt tho. The bolt would not cause THAT big of a hole.... I am going to do that, but what else needs to happen tho?

cokeicee

yeah or weld a plate there but i would be worried if it hit something that didnt give it would damage it

96_xj

alright so the side with the small hole(drive side) also has a bent bracket....(not there when i installed)

Damage like that is why I don't do mud.How hard did you hit when you bottomed out?

X2!!!

SWC custom

thats like the set up i wanna do... y dont u cut the bolt, weld plates on it and possibly adjust ur links so they are like 1-2'' sorter than they are?

96_xj

I rarely mud, Never bottomed out. I believe it was just from doing the trails and flexing it out.... And i might have to do that when i go back home. thanks for the input

mike albo

if you pulled the Disco when you wheel they shouldn't and wont do that,just a suggestion

96_xj

True! i wish but they are a pain in the rear.... you have to get them exactly right or the pin will not go in... i am going to modify them and drill a bigger hole so i can tho =]

caged

you did disconnect both sides, right?

mike albo

I have a JKS set on my XJ,they are pretty easy to do.

Drilling that hole larger may cause an aweful rattle. Just pull the pins and reassemble them with the right size hammer.LOL

96_xj

lol yeah i did connect both sides. i hardly ever disconnect them unless its a weekend trip

i was thinking that I would just i could just drill out the bar and not the "mount" because it is a tight fit, so if i just drill out the bar would it still rattle?
