99 Sport front stablizer bar???
Ok guys, I noticed a sway not too long back. But today I think I found the
culprit. While switching to my winter tires I noticed that the sway bar in
the front doesn't connect all the way to the swaybar link on either side.
The little ball doesn't seem to down into the like on either side. I did
notice that one of the rubbers has cracked off on one side. Any idea?
Thanx,
Mike

Yep. Your stabilizer bar (aka sway bar) link is broken. Replace it.
Might want to do both at the same time. Might want to replace them with
quick disconnect types if you ever intend to do any serious off road with
it in the future.

If you replace it with a QD, I highly recommend the Tera units. They are
easier to reconnect than most and they come with a pin to use to stow them
up out of the way when they are disconnected.
