I couple weeks ago, I installed a Tflex 2.5" with shocks. Took it to ORV park and had a blast. Didn't manually disconnect the front sway bar. After that ride, I had some clanking going on under the front end.

I finally found the problem. The top mounting bolts on the factory sway bar connects were loose, both of them. So check yours.

I had one other thought when I was under the Jeep last night. I have seen aftermarket sway bar disconnects, and it is a set of two, one for each side.

Why?

Why can't you just disconnect one side? Am I missing something here? Or would it be feasable to just disconnect one side and tie the sway connect and strap it to the sway bar itself?

Oh, before anyone says, "Just push the button to disconnect". I don't have a rubicon.

If you disconnect one side, it will make contact with the tie rod when the disconnected side is compressed. I tried it by just disconnecting the drivers side. I don't know if this cause any problems but here is what I did:

I removed the bottom bolt that connects the swaybar link to the axle. I drilled a hole in the bolt just past where the bolt comes out from the link. I use a washer and a hair pin cotter instead of the nut. I did this on both sides. Now I just pull the pins, remove the washer and bolts then strap up the sway bar and links.

 

Can you post a few pictures of this? Thanks

 

Dante,

I thought of doing the same thing by drilling.

Question, Is there any rattle over bumps when they are connected?

 

You do hear a little rattle over uneven terrain, but only with the windows open.

If it bothers you, you can always put the nut back on the bolt for dailly driving then put the washer and pin in the day before you head to the trails.

 

Good thought about putting nut back on, as long as you don't mess the threads up with the drilling.
