BOTH front stabalizer bar links popped out! 2002 Sport TJ
Hi all -
Been a long time since I posted here... Today I'll be changing out the left
and right side stabalizer (sway) bar links on my '02 TJ... Somehow, the ball
and sockets came apart on *both* sides. The ***** are still in tact depsite
ripping out of their sockets. I showed it to a buddy of mine that knows
vehicles and said he'd never seen something like that before. A little off
roading shouldn't do this. It's a JEEP, right?? Eee gads...
Any of you seen or heard of this?? I checked for any tech bulletins and the
guy at the Jeep dealer in Poughkeepsie, NY said he'd never heard of that
either.
Anyway, I got the new MOPAR links for 45 each and will be installing today.
Easy job... Let's hope these stay together!
Thanks -

Well I wish I'd read the message below from AKJEEPER... Seems he had a similar
situation with his 99 TJ. Only one popped though. Glad to hear I'm not alone
anyway. I like the idea of the quick discos... Hmm.

Why are you buying Mopar stock links for $90 when you can have excellent
disconnects for just a few $ more? Even if you want Mopar links, there are
tons of people here who have them on their garage shelves since they changed
over to discos.
