I replaced my cheap front sway bar links with jks adjustable links and set the sway bar at 10 degrees per the instructions. Holy cow.
Before, I had some play in mine , and the Jeep felt like the road dominated the vehicle , and I found myself counter steering some when the road had fall ( like steering against a side wind)
Not now . It tracks better and feels new and tight ....I’m picky with handling/steering , and this is one of the biggest improvements yet.
I’ve always felt like my TJ drove good , for a 4” lift on 33’s that has been and gets wheeled....and now I’m really pleased with it .
Moral of this posts is 2 things...check your links....,that junk creeps up on you .
Beyond that, is the fact that a TJ responds , good or bad , to the smallest changes .
And , it’s not always one. A tire or two out 1-2 psi, a worn drag link end, a little track bar movement, a pitman arm barely loose, a little slop in the lower shaft bearing , unit bearings failing.....and before you know it , it’s a hand full.
Every case may be different , but my TJ had the weird pedigree of very low miles and having been wheeled pretty hard...success for me has been relentless pursuit of every thing that works against good road manners ..,...I learned it all here , applied it , and am enjoying the results.
I will recommend these links to anyone , as the cheaper right angle type seem to be inherently self destructive, especially if they aren’t easily greased. I had used a needle ....but they got sloppy over 25,000 miles.
This also proves the ancillary components with cheap lifts are what get you ultimately, or at least can.
