Aftermarket Heavy Duty Drop Links

Make sure the ends are going to be rod ends (as shown) and not ball joint. I had a disconnectable set for my 1998 Jeep Wrangler. It used a ball joint on the end. Long story short getting off the highway on to the off ramp I heard and felt a loud pop followed by the jeep driving off into the weeds as it leaned over.

After getting the seat cover out of my rectal vault, I got out of the Jeep and found the ball joint failed and the sway bar disconnected itself.

Design flaw. Ball joints are the weakest when being pulled apart. They are the strongest when being push together. They last the longest when they have a sheer load (side to side). Because it had a load pulling it apart, it came apart.

End result, the manufacture sent me the newly re-designed version and I had to buy new seat covers.
