Just finished installing my new lower control arms, went to reinstall the sway bar, set end of sway bar on ground and it broke off. I noticed the other side was splitting and ready to break off too.

Guess you could say that’s not uncommon enough since I’ve seen ‘em fail too.

Although another OE take-off could be sourced for next to nothing, now would be the ideal time for a beefy upgrade!

thats what i had in mind also. i went ahead and bought a djm 1.5' sway bar. its wierd how these factory ones are made. looks like the end that came off is just like a cap or something. i dont even see any welds that broke or anything.

Yeah 86’d the lightweight stocker before it broke for a hell bent for strong 1.5” solid Hellwig.
Definitely a worthwhile upgrade imho. Safety first with the GF aboard is my motto lol.

Did you notice a big difference in handing? Steering? Im hoping there is. Wasnt a huge price tag. But a oem used one could of been had close to nothing.

Front bars crack at the eyelets commily. Replacing it with an aftermarket one wont make that big of a difference, however no point in goin stock.

I have a hotchkis setup front and rear on one of my trucks, rear made a massive difference

I looked into the hotchkis, but no way i was going to spend 700 bucks. Like you said. Better than going back to stock.
