Broken rear sway bar frame mounts

[The Crown wrench]

I was out wheeling this weekend and pulled the rear sway frame bracket apart. I will be welding in some thicker steel so it doesn't happen again. I was in an area requiring a lot of articulation. I'm not to upset. I wanted to to let it be known. It is a weak area

Let me guess a Mojave trim? I’ve seen several postings in regards to that bracket breaking

How did you realize the brace was broken?

My wife was driving behind me on the highway and she called and said there was something weird hanging underneath my truck (sway bar link)...

Doesn't have to be a mojave to have this issue. I have just under 9k miles on my Sport and the mounts tore just like the Op's. sad pitiful design. just received my Rear AntiRock yesterday so on it goes this weekend

put up a report of how you like the anti-rock when its in and tested if you don't mind.

Is this happening with stock bars or just the after market sway bars?

if you wheel hard AM or OEM you WILL tear up the frame mount for the sway bar. It is a crappy design.

Thank you. Curious how many stock vs AM have had this happen.

I have a Hellwig on my Mojave and the tabs started to separate. I had them welded together and an additional plate out on the front to strengthen it.

The first pic is when it separated and the second is the repair.

I've got the AEV spacer lift on my Gladiator. Turns out there's also a crack in the other side also. Shop is fabricating some replacements out of beefier steel.

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

(You probably should enclose those exposed wires, before their insulation is worn through...)
