Rear Sway bar parts and other things

RobDodge · Nov 5, 2020

In rebuilding the suspension on my 94’ I found out that the rear sway bar brackets that hold it to the body were rusted out and have had no luck finding a vendor who sells them. I can find the front but not the rear

DayStar bushings have the mounting sleeve.

The local junkyard should have a few good ones.

I don't know what Tim saw but their web page doesn't say that and also say's they only fit +97 XJ and doesn't say anything about the "cradles".

That's just a pic, the info says bushings only. I would call Morris and ask because the part# is the same as Daystar's.

I personally wouldn't even bother reinstalling rear sway bars. They aren't really necessary and from what I understand weren't even originally installed on some models. I don't run any and most people I know don't run rear sway bars on the xj.

My 1994 ad one. The 1996 do not. The 1996 do have stiffer springs so that may be the reason. I was not able to tell a difference when I removed the bar from the 1994.

Have you mocked up a front bracket to see how much is different? Apparently the 97+ use the same part front & rear...
