Re: sway bar links
I have an XJ, a decade old with 120K miles - no rough stuff. I've only
had it a year, and it was probably cracked when I bought it. I wish I
had time to order disconnects, but we're planning on taking the Jeep
across country for Thanksgiving, and leaving Tuesday morning. I reckon
I'll have to take it to the shop, which galls me, because it's not THAT
difficult a fix. I just don't have any air tools to break the old bolts
loose. Thanks, y'all.

Have you seen this web page?

Perhaps a local shop will weld the factory link for you.
