Do all brand sway bar quick disconnects rattle and click over every bump?
I haven't been driving my '08 JK much but the weather is finally cooling off so I popped the doors and top and took it for a spin. I kept hearing this rattle noise every time the the suspension moved at all and believe I've isolated it to the quick discos. The ones that came with the Full Traction Ultimate lift have too much play in them so they rattle every time one tire goes up or down. Rocking the car back and forth you can really hear it and actually see the tube move up and down within the upper and lower link points.
I was curious if anyone else had this problem and if there is a fix or if another manufacturer makes ones that aren't so loud. Will it hurt anything to just disconnect them and leave them that way since most of my driving is around town, off road or on the beaches anyway?
Thanks!

The FT quick disconnects are basic disco that are far from stellar. If you have a Rubicon, you don't even need them installed and if you have an X or Sahara, I'd ditch them for something like a set of TeraFlex or JKS discos.

I noticed the same issue with the Full Traction discos, along with the not so easy to disconnect issue... I went with the JKS quicker disconnects and haven't looked back....
either!!

How much would it cost to get rid of my rubi electro-disconnect kit, and replace it with a regular sway bar with some JKS quick discos? Is there any market for selling the Rubi kit? Can I lift it later without too much trouble, or should I attempt this after I lift it?
