Default A little play in front sway links.

I made some quick disconnects, and there is a little play where it connects to axle. Is my jeep going to blow up, and I am going to die? Or is it really that big of a deal? It's attached how it should be, pin I used in place of the bolt is just a slight bit skinnier... Thanks for the help

I wouldnt worry about it. If you think itll blow up then you should have a look under my jeep...There isnt even sway bar mounts on my axle.

You'll have a little more slop in the sway bar than you would otherwise and it MIGHT wear out the bushings a bit quicker, but I don't see it hurting anything.

If you wanted to you could either change out the stud or get a beefier bushing to close the gap.

Thanks guys, the blowing up and dying was more for dramatic effect. Lol, Was looking to be reassured, and that's what I needed. Thanks again.
