Re: TJ sway bar question
The links are sold separately at your Jeep dealer if you want the original
factory link. They are interchangeable. One link fits either the right or
left side. The part number is: #52087771AB. I would suggest just replacing
them both.
You can get them from your local Jeep dealer or order them online here:
http://tinyurl.com/5j6nk
The factory list price is $47.25 and the online price is $34.49. If you
print out that page and take it to your dealer, they will probably match the
price. The dealer will most likely have the links in stock, since they wear
out at the top and are a common replacement part.
To remove the old link, you just un-bolt it at the bottom and the top. The
bottom comes right off, but the top of the link is tapered and fits into a
tapered hole in the stabilizer bar. It is really jammed in there and you
will need a tie rod separator tool to remove it. You jam the forked end of
the tool between the top of the link and the stabilizer bar and lever it up
and down until the link breaks free. The tool is inexpensive and available
at your local auto parts store.
See the tool here:

Re: TJ sway bar question
Thanks a lot, for the info, Tom.
I have had a tough time getting the stabilizer link bar off---I didn't
have a deep-socket 18mm wrench, I finally got one, and now I don't have
enough torque to get it off (in MY arm)....I have some WD40 hopefully
working it's magic right now. Maybe I'll have to start going back to
the gym! At any rate, I have one final question--do I still need to
buy the polyurethane bushings, or does the OEM part include everything
I need?
