Default Sway bar bushings toast

Been hearing a clunk for a while now figured it was my sway bar bushings since everything else is brand new. Finally had time to check today and wow, you could land an airplane in these bushings, I already removed the driver side so you can’t see the light in these pics. Heading down to grab some new bushings haha. Figured I’d share. Check your bushings people!

Measure your sway bar diameter because they come in different sizes.

I was amazed because my 2000 Cherokee Sport being the cheap model, but with the tow package, has the thickest one they have. Maybe because of the tow package?
