So I did this a while ago, and the only thing I ran into is what do you do with your sway bar when it's not hooked up? Can't just flop around right?

 

Bungie cord them up in place

 

my friend does this in his zj, he breaks bungies all the time. you can if you want. i just use a foot and a half of velcro and run it through the "frame", there is a hole right there i run it through and around and stick it to itself. holds it up real nice. the bungie cord works too, i just dont have the money to keep buying bungies. lol

 

I have never broken a bungie.... I use the same one all the time. (i now have real disconnects and still use the same bungie)

HE must be rubbing it on something then

 

he must be. but the velcro was on sale for .50 a foot. so it cost me $1.50 to keep up my sway. so i can live with it.

 

What happened????Gotta ask

 

The washer and "bolt" have enough play that they rub and wear. so over miles of use the "head" on the bolt wears down and so does the washer. After about 2000 miles I was able to pull the washer off the "bolt" where the "head" was.

Sorry i cant think of the correct terms i am having a total brain fart

 

iv never thought about that before, and iv been running no sway bars since january lol. my bushings are tight enough that i dont notice them moving much, move as in flop around when i drive it.

 

I installed an eye bolt up through the fender & parallel to the sway bar & out of the way. I use small bungie cords to keep the sway bar swinging down. This keeps the bar up as far as it can go and never had any problems

 

I've been driving with no sway bars on my jeep since I can remember. The front sway bar is there just never connected, I just leave it hanging there.

 

Did this today, love it! So quick and easy! I must've got lucky because i didn't have to press out the bolts, slid right out. I used 1/2'' thick and 2 1/2'' long pins. Thanks for the idea! Also made velcro straps to hold the swaybar up when not in use.

 

I've tried this mod atleast 4 times and CAN NOT press out that bolt. I'm thinking I should add some heat next time i atempt it. Yall think that'll do it?

 

I'd grab a can of PB Blaster or some type of good penetrating oil and then use a pitman arm puller to push it out.

 

X2 I hammered,ground,drilled and cussed getting the driver side out,took forever then I went and got a pitman arm puller before tackling the passenger side took 10 minutes on that side and not a single curse word

 

i just took the nut off and cut the heads off and cut the bushings off my rear one that was already out and then put that on with some washers and used the impact gun to run the nut back on and it pulled the bolt right threw and out the other side simple!! and quick the longest was taking the nut back off and cutting the head off the bolt!! but it worked like a charm!!
