HELP PLEASE! Awful JKS quicker disconnect experience

[Proteus]

Hello all, put the JKS quicker disconnects on my jeep and they have been nothing but trouble. The latest issue is that they have completely bent the tab that connects to the front axle. (Pictured)

am I going to have to replace the entire front axle to go back to stock or is there a cheaper way to change out the pieces that connect to the sway bar links?

You can heat that metal up with a propane torch and hammer it back to center.

Are your disconnects at 5 degree upward angle? If they are not angled correctly they will bind and start bending/breaking the weakest link.

Replace the entire axle for a metal tab? No, worst case cut off the tab before the bend and reweld on a new end. It's just metal.

This, just get out a torch and hit it with a hammer. Metal has a memory.

Something is wrong with your install. There is nothing special about the JKS in and of itself, they are just sway bar linkages you can unhook.
