98 Jeep Cherokee XJ with 195,000+ miles.
One side has a bad sway bar end link that came loose (missing top bushing). Both sides have lots of rust and the bushing are worn and cracked. So I'm thinking of replacing both sway bars links and their bushings.
The Jeep has an OME 2.5 inch lift kit.The rest of the steering and suspension appears ok, no ball joint movement, etc.
Uncertain of the difference. I found bushings from Moog that are thermoplastic and Raybestos Professional, that appear to be rubber.
Moog K3172 Sway Bar Bushing
Moog K3174 Sway Bar End Link Kit
(Moog uses thermoplastic bushings)
Raybestos 545-1038 Kit
(Raybestos bushings appear to be similar to the OE rubber.)
----------
Are there any aftermarket suspension and steering upgrades for shorter lifts? I found upgrade parts for 3+ inch lifts.
