Default What happens if....
Your front sway bar end links are too long?

Mine are facing upward of horizontal quite a bit and I am wondering if there are adverse effects from this on road at at highway speeds?

Please, let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!

That's your JK's way of telling you to get a taller lift...

Lots of posts with pics of what can happen when the front links are too short, don't believe I've seen any with negative effects from links being too long.

If your links are a little too long you shouldn't worry... but if they are too short you should worry

Your E-Disco wants the sway bar to be no more than + or - 5 degrees off horizontal for it to function properly.

Actually the e-disco functioned fine off-road. I am speaking more towards on road and highway speed handling.

I need to get out there and snap a pic for you guys to see my concern.

Thanks for the replys!
