Steering/Suspension #951129 06/26/09 04:28 PM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 33 Glens Falls, NY C CAskier OP Getting the Wheeling Fever A part of my steering or suspension is broken ( see picture ). Looks like some kind of stabilizer. The bushings look to be shot. What is it and how do I fix it? The part is hanging down on both sides. Re: 97 TJ Sahara - What is this part?

If you have a lift kit you will need to get extended links or the stock parts will keep on breaking. Re: 97 TJ Sahara - What is this part?

Can I just buy the bushings or do I have to replace the whole link? Is installation as simple as it looks? Just pop the old ones off and put the new ones on? Quadratec difficulty ranking is "experts only"... why? Last edited by CAskier; 06/26/09 06:08 PM. Re: 97 TJ Sahara - What is this part?

Yes, you purchase new anti-sway bar links and just replace them. I don't agree with the Quadratec rating. The grunt effort to replace them may be up there, but the technical knowledge required is minimal. Look at any technical manual for your vehicle (OEM or aftermarket), and the explanation of the job should be relatively simple. 1977 CJ-7, fiberglass body, AMC 360 w/ headers, DUI ignition, Edelbrock intake and Holley 4150 carb, TF999, Dana 300, 4.56 gears lockers, York air comp, 4" susp lift, 2" body lift, BFG 35" M-T tires, Megashifter, AGR pump & box, REP8000 winch.

I wanted to replace my factory sway bar with something like a Terraflex kit. (bar and arms) I have the disconnects from my RC lift. I was wondering if one is supposed to preload the bar. I saw some articles in one of the known mags. about this. I don't think it would be necessary? Any answers. The drivers side of the bar is bent, making it hard to disengage. 01' TJ Wangler, 6" Ruff Country X Series, 35" x 12.5" Mickey Thompsons On 15 x 10" rims w/ simi Bead Lock, Matching Warn Bumpers, 9500xi Warn Wench, Tom Woods Drive Shaft And SYE, And A K+N Cool Air Intake.
