Sway bar disconnects help!

[Jake Wilson]

What do you guys do with your disconnects once you release them from your sway bar? I have a pair of JKS and I release the top of them when I went off roading this last weekend. Well it got caught on my tire and bent the bracket. I got the disconnects back on but I don't want it to get worse the next time I disconnect the sway bar. To clarify I only disconnect the top from the sway bar. I did not completely remove them. Should I have just completely removed them?

From everything ive ever read, zip ties will be your best friend

Yes remove them, zip tie the sway bar and throw the links in the Jeep.

You take the JKS discos off all the way. That's why they have pins top and bottom.

Ok newbie mistake. I'll make sure to completely remove them next time.

you need a new bracket that one is junk and could break under pressure.

You don't think I can hammer it straight again!

It is already bent and straightening would weaken it even more and cause failure.

Before I installed the Rubi Swaybar the quick disconnect links were zip tied to a fixed place out of the way.

Damn ok. I don't have a welder so I guess I'll wait till I order my c gassets fro, EVO and weld them all on at the same time.

Disconnect the bottom and either zip tie the thing up or get brackets and you use the same cotter pin to secure them up top.

I like that idea. You make that bracket yourself?

That photo above happens to be a Rough Country one. There was one similar on my Jeep when I bought it, I run JKS discos and they are great and stay out of harms way up there.

Yup. I run the same ones and the brackets work great.

Ok I'll look into that. Until then I'll just remove it when I go off roading
