I'm looking to buy the daystar bushing upgrade on the whole front end.... but it has 3 different sway bar bushing size.... is this specific to year jeep or are they different no matter what year? Essentially this is what im looking to buy... need/want to try to clean up some of the front end slop. http://www.quadratec.com/products/76046_82X_PG.htm

 

sway bar isnt gonna attribute to "slop" trac bar and tie rod will make you have a sloppy front end. I say remove the sway bar all together. Both xjs ive owned I removed em. The body roll isnt bad at all without a sway-bar. Ive gotten used to it and dont think twice about it. Plus I can hit the trails without having to get out and mess with disconnects.

 

I wasnt thinking about that as being a part of the issue, i just see the bushing on the links are hammered on this thing... dont think the guy owned or knew what a torque wrench is.....

 

Measure the sway bar with a dial caliper. I don't think sizes were year specific.

I'd advise against removing it.

 

Generally, different size antiroll bars are dependent on suspension options, not model year.

"Front end slop" could be worn bushings, worn linkage parts, worn joints, worn ... What have you checked, and how?
