Broken rear sway bar frame mounts

[JTenn]

I bent my passenger side link for the 2nd time last weekend. Broke the 1st one. So I have EVO links coming today. These are much more substantial so it looks like the next weakest link will be the mount on the frame. I guess I'll be fabbing new mounts next.

Sorry I overlooked this post Chorky..I have installed the anti rock in the rear and it is real good. I have some weight on my Heep and it handles it well. The ride is much more compliant and not as harsh. They are pricey so is it worth it?? Well in my case I would say it was. My mounts were destroyed and wasn't worth it to cobble something up...it is still Pricey....did I mention they were very proud of the Anti Rock?...lol. FYI for those that dont have rubicons I do recommend Sway lock front sway bar..DEFINITELY worth the price of admission for us non rubicon owners in my opinion

Recommend these for everyone. We took the front sway bar off our JKU to run this and a frame chop front bumper…. ORO makes great stuff- and the torsion bar used is stiffer than stock when locked in. 110% best sway bar out there. (From a functions stand point). Literally the same articulation as the antirock but with more stability than stock locked in…. One of very few that offer the best of both worlds.

I have the Metalcloak brackets to repair this weak area. Inexpensive and a great product.

Yes...You all should be picking up a set of them or something like them BEFORE you have issues. Much cheaper to prevent then to repair this stupid design

I just bought a set although I opted for the EVO ones since I just bought a set of their links. Might as well keep it the same. And I had some points to use at @Northridge4x4 and they don't currently carry the Meatalcloak. Same flavor, different brand. I honestly didn't know these even existed so seriously thanks again @Lunentucker

After wheeling hard and flexing to the max I have no issues with my rear sway bar,,,,, yet. I'll be doing something before the next trip. I ripped my Fox ATS off in Anza somewhere and never noticed it gone. I think the rear sway bar is a little stiff for real flexing.

Sorry to hear about what happened man. Definitely recommend the MC Reinforcement brackets. Great product, and quality + customer service is TOP TIER.

I had the same problem, both brackets broken and both links bent. I went with the teraflex rear swaybar and really happy with it, especially at half the cost of the RJ. And it feels stiffer than the stock one, a good plus with the added weight of the topper.

Just had to drill and tap the right axle bracket to fit the AEV bumpstop spacer.

Unfortunately I found it was a problem right after I tore both sides of mine out at Rausch Creek.
