SkyJacker front swaybar disconnects missing hardware?

rmasteller · Sep 3, 2026

I recently bought these sway bar disconnects. Shouldn't it have another set of nuts & bolts for the lower half? And, shouldn't there be washers for the bolt heads as well as the nuts? And why do the SkyJackers have a bend in them? You see the old ones are straight tube.

Lower hardware is reuse OEM. Normally a single washer goes under the nut if both aren't included.

It does look like what you got matches the BoM:

Here's the instructions if you don't have them: https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/sja-i-sbe120-124.pdf

Thanks for finding that BoM and instructions!!

This forum has great members.

Re-read BoM and the large coarse thread nuts I got were normal, not nylon locking nuts.

That's crazy, reusing old hardware. My little baby hex drive impact wrench (133 ft-lb) could only get 1 bolt off, so I bought a big ol 1/2" square drive impact wrench (1,600 ft-lb) and that got two more off and rounded off the last nut. So I bought an angle grinder and cut that one off. I guess I'll buy some washers and a couple bolts just to make it right. The old one had washers under the bolt heads. Most expensive sway bar links ever!!

And what about the peyronie's disease that the SkyJackers suffer from? They don't quite line up right. I wish I could have found direct replacements.

Just a trick for next time, a benzo plumbing torch kit can come in handy and is pretty cheap. A lot of time heat will break help break those stubborn nuts/bolts loose. At least you got some new tools!

Yeah, the tools will continue to be useful over the years.

Should I worry about the bend in the links and how they fit?

yes, the bends need to be in a certain direction so the swaybar stays where its supposed to be and off the inner fender
