Okay, I've about had it with my front sway bar.
I bought longer links to go on my 5" of lift.... they snapped when crossing a little ditch..... then I "fabbed" up my own by cutting a set of Moog links and welding a grade 8 bolt in the middle to lengthen them.... they snapped when hoisting the Jeep on a lift to rotate the tires!! (My welds did not break, neither did the bolt... just the original metal part)
I have the bar sitting at level horizontal when hooked up to the links. So what the hell? Why do they keep snapping? Especially when there is no real great stress being put on them.
Please give me some answers as to what to do if you can. I have to take family on a trip tomorrow and would like to weld something up tonight. What is the right length? And what is wrong with my sway bar?
Thanks for any and all advice.
