Well, I thought I would share a bit of experience gained for anyone it might help or interest. I was out last weekend on some ATV type trails, and had an absolute blast with some gravity-relieving short hills. Had the TJ just enough in the air to have fun - many times! When I got back to town, I'm checking things out while I air back up, and I discovered that the upper grease zircs on my swaybar disconnect links had been knocked off. Didn't think too much about it - I'll tap 'em out and put new ones in, no big deal. Then last night I'm going through my new ritual of hangin around my Jeep and the neighbbors, drinkin a beer and talkin Jeep. When I start thinking about just how that happened. As I'm staring at the links and trying to recreate the situation - I realize what the problem was. The links were installed wrong. When in the disconnected position, the zircs were pointed up - next to the swaybar. So when I came down hard, they banged up against it. The solution is simple - flip the links around. That way the zirc points DOWN and out of harms way!

No, I didn't install them the first time.

Just my $.02 for what it's worth - some of you may want to go check your links!
