Default Poor man quick disconnects I need Guidance for hardware needed

I am looking and looking, but I cannot find what I want exactly. I have seen the bottom cotter pin style setup what are the best type of setups while still using the stock links for a home brew disconnect.

Could I make a quick disconnect for the top and bottom of the end link ? share you recent attempts and designs of doing this.

Also, is the bottom link bolt pressed in or will it come out nicely.

The bottom stud is pressed in. You can either press it out or do what I did... Drill it out.


Keep in mind that if your sway bar link breaks during an emergency maneuver it could be a disaster....so build it strong.

You don't need a press or drill just hit the lower studs with some PB for a few days then beat them out with a BFH!

As for the budget disconnects use the search for "$7 disconnects"

I tried the PB and BFH. It didn't work. Just offering options.
