Al's Front Sway Bar Disconnects

Has anyone purchased these? http://jeepinbyal.com/detail.aspx?ID=458

I haven't seen the JKS discos up close, are these pretty similar?

Been thinking about getting a quick disconnect, but rather not have to modify the product to keep from rattling/banging/squeaking etc. right off the bat.

And he has them installed upside down... Or I do.

I just assumed they were the JKS ones.

gris,

you have those? how do you like them? are they noisy, or did you get them to quiet down?

Gris · **Posted:** Thu Oct 11, 2007 9:58 am

Mine are relatively quiet. I really can't say I hear anything from them other than when the lanyard snaps off-road and the bar starts bouncing around, which I fixed by removing the ABS mounting tab from the knuckle.

I never did get noise though, so it's not like i "Fixed" anything to qiuet them down. Or maybe I'm just oblivious. Ther are 2 different times I gut the "Clunk" people report and I don;t think either is related. If I am turning at almost full-lock and get a little bump from either acceleration or a pebble or something, I get a little clunk. I think that's my swaybar bushings/mounts, not the links. The other is when I get on the bakes REALLY hard. not sure what causes that, but everything is tight and the brakes work fine.

Either way, I love em off-road. They're grrrrrrrrrrrrr-8

cool, thanks. i figure im putting up with plenty of sounds and strange behavior out of the vehicle as it is, so a little more cant hurt right? its not like i'm going to be ruining my vehicles cushy ride and silent interior... :lol:

hey gris,

how do you hold these up when they are disconnected? i notice that they have a pin on the top and on the bottom, which one do you remove? or both? i just got these in the mail and am trying to figure out how they install and work. thanks!

Here are the install instructions for the JKS disco's. Procedure should be similar or the same for Al's as they look identical.

Use threadlok. I lost 2 of the pins at different times before I figured out that I never added it for some reason when I installed them. Haven't lost one since.
