Jeep problems
I put a 3 inch rustys offroad lift and some 33x12.5 whyll doing so my front sway bar links broke. But now my jeep steers very poorly its kind of all over the road. Should i upgrade my steering or should i get new sway bar links? What do you think is the issue?

Broken sway bar links = jeep sways and steering is bad= New sway bar links. Those size tires a adjustable track bar would bea great upgrade too. Are the tires aligned and balanced, are they old or new?

Also a stock sway bar link will not work with a 3 inch lift. They will pull the sway bar down too far and the links will bend and bushings will smash.
At least it happened that way with my XJ when the previous owner skipped extended links with a 3 inch lift.
Also felt like the front end was gunna bounce the jeep into the other lane around bumpy corners

I to would look else where ive found my jeep to drive a straight line well with no sway bars and with mulltiple suspension setups on long arms aswell as short arms with 33-35" tires even with balanced and unbalanced tires.
did this with stock steering and track bar, over the knuckle 1ton with reworked track bar to mach draglink. Currently wj over the knuckle track reworked again to match.. also no need for a steering stabalizer
current set up drives and steers better than my 2002 cummins with 2013 steering. Track bar on cummins also reworked mainly because I cant stand tierod ends on a track bar.
you confused yet, I am.
