Sway bar bracket hitting drag link on TeraFlex steering

[Slicknick630]

Hey everyone! First post here. I just bought this Jeep and it has the teraflex steering upgrade on it. The problem I have is the sway bar bracket on the axle comes in contact with my drag link. Has anyone run into a similar issue like this and what can I do to fix this issue. I want to be able to use my sway bar but right now only the drivers side will attach.

Ditch that piece of crap steering system and go back to the factory setup or a Currie Currectlync. That will solve the problem.

Either that, or do some trimming. However, that is a real piece of garbage steering set up just to put that out there. No offense intended.

Wow! I've never seen such a thing. Does it drive OK? How much lift do you have?

Personally, I'd take all that off, and start over.

Oh, and BTW, welcome to the forum! Give us some more background on your rig. and, as always....

Thanks for the advice I honestly was thinking the same thing going back to the original steering and how crappy this design is. I have the original steering knuckle I can put on but I would need a new setup any recommendations? It drives fine but I do have some play for sure but nothing uncontrollable. Here are some pics of the entire Jeep to.

None taken! This design I just don’t see how you would ever be able to hook up a sway bar without modifying a ton of stuff. I totally agree with you lol.

I bought some Rubi axles that came with the Teraflex set up and the sway bar link mounts were huge. Anyway, went back to stock steering setup but still have the taller mounts on my jeep. Eventually I'll get stock mounts welded back on

Ya that bracket I think is what I would need. But I think in the end I’m going to just go back to the stock steering. It seems that will be way easier than messing around with everything trying to make it work.

Is the teraflex lift pretty good? I am trying to figure out exactly what size teraflex lift I have. Also in the front I have ACOS adjustable spacers.

I personally can't speak to the Teraflex lift, I pieced together a Currie setup

That steering setup is supposed to be used in conjunction with their raised track bar bracket and different sway bar end link mounts, that's why they're hitting.

that looks like rough country long arm?

It has the long arm setup from teraflex but it’s like they stopped at the sway bar brackets and never put them on or relocated them.
