WTF is wrong with the stabilizer (sway, anti-sway bar) ???

--- is yours like this or is mine bent ???

does everyone have trouble re-installing the front stabilizer to the frame ?
[NOTE: the angles are real - not wide-angle lens effect]

comments, advise, explanation ... Anyone?
It should be an easy bolt up. Like already said. you can bolt it to the frame first or last. Does not matter.

Don't know why anyone would want a sway bar. But that is another story.

To stay out of the ditch, so you can turn a corner at a reasonable speed, - not have line of people waiting for you just to pull off the road, lot, etc

at Pic-n-pull http://www.picknpull.com/part_pricin...=&#partpricing $25.99, but I'm pretty sure I could get one for $15 in Lk Stevens - wait, you in AZ or WA? or?

Yeah and out of the Ditch ^^ It feels sloppy without it, but I was used to sport-cars, Jap luxury, and muscle cars before I bought the Cherokee.
I think it handles pretty well for a 4X4 - With the stabilizer bar.
However, I Don't want to get out to dis-connect it, that's why I'm trying to build a disengage-able stabilizer

Also - in WA the OE Stabilizer/Sway-bar is REQUIRED on highways. you may not care, but it may bite you if you're in a wreck (fault or not), or inspection for some reason, (or ... a real A. H. of a state trooper/ deputy).

anyone know WTF this is - I tried to delete it 2x: V
