Does anyone know what this is?

[billiebob]

So I picked up a pair of clevis pins and washers as shown in the thread provided by @bigwheels88 and took it for a quick spin around my neighborhood and the problem hasn't changed. It still leans when turning as I described. However, upon further inspection I did notice the arm is slightly bent. Is this normal? The arm on the driver side is completely straight whereas the arm on the passenger side is slightly bent. The second photo attached will show this.

Is a pair of new sway bar link disconnects my next steps?

That looks like hardware store stuff, not what should be used on the suspension. They should be SOLID once installed. My bet is they will break.

The fact that one is slightly bent (those are aftermarket links) will make little to no difference. What will make a difference is if the connection is loose and sloppy.

I swear I read somewhere that you've been advised to start wrenching and stop buying.
I think you are a hoarder Squatch!

Maybe Squatch should join "Jeep Parts Anonymous" (JPA) I think they have weekly meetings and might be able to help.

Yep sure do

Agreed. The problem with that type of homemade disconnect is that the sloppy connections create a dead spot where the sway bar doesn't do anything until the clevis pins bind against the mounts. That translates into increased body roll while connected. Eventually the mounting holes will wallow out.

Don't deflect this away, you don't get this off easy, that is your yard I swear. I saw the jack stand under your car fixing your brakes in one of these threads.

The jks quicker disconnects would be a affordable and very appropriate upgrade.
