They're not hitting now but probably will when you flex, I'd move them to the inside, but that's not causing the sway issue.

I dot have an e-disco.. But I'd imagine you can just unbolt one of the sway links and see if te sway will swing up or down..

i confirmend today that the one front shock they fitted is wrong and could contribute to the swaying. However i still think somthing is wrong with the swaybar links. Is there a prosedure to follow when fitting the? Should they be electronicly disconected before the new ones are fitted? Sway bar links also contribute to the stability of the jeep right?

i beleive there must be somthing wrong with the swaybar links.. If the swaybar links are contributing to the stability then maybe its that.

Today i took out the longer rear swaybar links and moved the origanal rear ones back from the front and installed the origanal front ones back. My swaying problem is gone.

I am getting the front lower ajustable control arms fitted on saturday( Thank you David Northridge 4x4 who assisted me all the way in South Africa) from the alignment specs they picked up that my thrust angle is out on the rear axle Will the new control arms help to get this right? Last question... Should my final alignment after the control arms be the same as stock or would you suggest more toe out? more caster? any suggestions please.

Thank you to everybody that responded
