Your videos have saved me over a thousand dollars. Thank you!!

One of the sway bar links was completely snapped on my XJ and apparently I had been driving around for a while like that. Watched this video yesterday, bought the parts today and installed as well. Thanks for the help!

Your video was very helpful, had no problem replacing old sway bar links and bushings with new ones. Thanks!!!!

Great video, I redid my sway bar links last night thanks to this guide. Bushings were completely shot.

Keep up the great videos. I like the way you explain the most basic things and don't assume we already know these things. As a beginning shade tree mechanic there are a lot of basic things I don't know yet.

Looking at doing some Jeep projects in the next coming weeks including sway bar stuff and your videos are great. Thanks!

Thank u for this video, this covered everything I needed to know.

Wisconsin shitbox needs some love this weekend. Thanks for the help.

Thanks, U resolved an issue of the pressed in end side not wanting to break loose. Just remove sway bar to hammer it out.

Thanks for a detailed video now its out in the snow and fix my jeep

Just finished replacing my end links and the bushings on the sway bar. Body roll is completely gone, feels like the jeep can corner like a sports car! Thanks for the help dude

Thanks for the video great job explaining

Great video. I have a 98 WJ and this was very helpful.

Had to do this to my 95 XJ Sport soon after i bought it. The only thing I did different was to soak everything with penetrating oil ahead of time. Also didn't get the right bushings the first time, so I had a bit of a squeak until I got the correct bushings. Really helped with handling and steering. Also did steering stabilizer and shocks all around. Everything else in the front was tight. Was like driving a new Jeep.

Doing my shocks & bushings as well. Really looking forward to that "new" XJ feel in my '00! This Winter mine deteriorated rapidly & went into a skid on ice after hitting what woukd be a mediocre pothole as I got some front end bounce & lost just enough traction so these things do matter beyond "confort". It also gets you proper wear on your tires so don't neglect these. PENETRATING OIL IS YOUR FRIEND! I try to soak things a week before hand if possibly & periodically hit nuts & bolts when I'm doing other work & have a can on hand as rust is so often the biggest bane for what should be a quick job. If that doesn't do it then hopefully I can put fire to it. A good penetrating oil like Kroil or PB Blaster is key not the standard WD40.

Doing these now, thanks for the video

Super helpful, thank you!

Thanks for the video!

Just did this it fixed my death wobble only problem I had trouble aligning the sway bar . It’s too close to the body on the driver side gonna have align it it runs with the body if I’m on a dirt road on street works fine thanks for the video though ,it helped me out a lot .

4:05-4:22 I’d be swearing at it! 🤬🤬 Replaced my sway bar links today on my 2000 xj. Your video made the job go quite easy!

Awesome video!

Putting this in my watch later. I'm doing front and rear on a 2000 soon

Thanks man I knew it wasn't that complicated lol.

Awesome!!!

Buen video saludos desde veraguas

Good video but a word of advice would be to pre treat hours, a day, days, or a week prior with penetrating oil like PB Blaster or Kroil. Since you are replacing at the least the bushings you may be able to save some money with using penetrating oil & careful use of a torch (careful is key!).

I gatta change the linkages on my commander has new bushings in the front hopefully this solves the loud banging issues coming from the front end

Thanks!

Well my sway bar link broke off so I know what I’ll be doing this weekend 😂

*optional* remove sway bar linkages everytime you go off road, you'll never seize up the linkage bolts. Or break the sway bar linkage as I learned the hard way. Don't be off roading with the linkages on 😬 Thanks for the video, knowing in advance what the socket sizes are saves a ton of time

Bro this is tutorial is at my speed of understanding. You do a great job, you don't expect me to know all the names of the parts, I really appreciate that! Question: would it be easier to drop the jeep on the ground before tightening the sway bar? As opposed to jacking up the axle?

How long were your sway bar links? Did you have to get any longer links for your lift? I'm getting a 2 inch lift and my mechanic saying I need some that are at least 10 inches

Are you able to replace the large bushings without jacking up the Jeep or loosening and/or removing the links? Thank you!

@OutJeeping

Other brands do offer them in different sizes depending on lift size.

My sway bar measured 25mm. The guy at the parts store said they didn't have 25 so he sold me the 26mm. Seems like going up in size would defeat the purpose. Any thoughts? Great video btw brother

There's different sizes moog makes and you can find them all on Amazon for under $10 a set.

Would I need different size links for a 3in lift or is OEM okay for that lift?

The sleeve is probably rusted on from the old links, hit a chezel on the slit on the sleeve to expand it and slide it off.

Axle is not centered. You need to have an adjustable track bar to center the axle.

Any problems if they’re both not facing the same direction?

@OutJeeping

I would check tires, ball-joints, control arm bushings and track bar ends. Those would be the true cause of any death wobble. But it could be other components as well contributing to a more mild wobble. I would suggest going over everything in the front end and replacing stuff that is worn out.
