Cherokee Sway Bars

[csutke]

For those of you who have the AC lift and have problems with your front sway bar links or want to get new ones i have found a replacement. They come from a stock Jeep Cherokee The front sway bar link from a the cherokee will put the bar at the right angle again, also allows for more articulation. Got mine at a local 4x4 shop for $5. They had some just sitting around. The only problem with them is that the front links are a little off set and the cherokee ones arent but its not that far off. Also there are many options for sway bar link disconnects such as the ones from JKS(some day ill have the money for them). Hope this helps.

What year cherokees and what model links?

 

How does it ride?

Lol Derrick, I think they're pretty much all the same. I would guess any XJ.

not sure exactly what year but like 47 said there all pretty much the same im pretty sure its from an XJ . It rides fine pretty much the same as stock but now its the roght length for the lift. Ill get some pics up as soon as i get a chance.

Good find! I may try this on my front swaybar until it comes off for good.

In that first pic, it doesn't look like the link is very tightly secured to the strut. Doesn't it make all sorts of clunking sounds like that?

 

BTW, JKS disconnects don't work on the R50. I tried them (click here for my old write-up), but the first time I tried using them, the disconnected swaybar banged around on the CV axles and bent the ABS wire bracket when the wheels were turned and the suspension cycled. Also, the JKS disconnects require frequent lubrication, or they seize. Therefore, I don't recommend them for our application.

No it doesnt bang around the only the bangs around is the washer on the bottom of the link. I got it as tight as i could but like i said earlier its not an exact match but its better than nothing and good info on the JKS discos, that will save me some money
