sway bar, quick disconnects

*ohe_boy* · 09-08-2004, 02:27 AM

have any one heard of such things for the '94 explorers? and if so where can i get them?

*bmxking5* · 09-08-2004, 07:46 AM

Not sure but I think Warrior makes some. Most people make their own though.

It is VERY easy to make your own...

Just get a pair of 1/2 hitch pins from the local hardware store, remove the bolt holding the sway bar link to the TTB axle housing, drill out the holes so the 1/2 pin passes through and replace the bolts with the pins. When disconnected tie up the links and bar with a couple of small bungies or make some sort of strap that fastens to the frame in the area where the links and bar swing up into.

Grand total cost - somewhere around $8.00 - add a couple bucks if you need to purchase a good 1/2 drill bit.

Note: Drill slowly - and add some type of coolant (even a slow stream of water) when you drill out the bushing so you don't melt the rubber - or do what I do - press out the bushing and replace it with one that is 1/2" inner diameter. Just press it in with your bench vise or a C-clamp.

Vibes is right! They were proud of them that's for sure. I got them from Warrior Products for about $90.00 but that was in Alaska. Shipping is horrible up there.

This is how I made mine for my ranger a while back same thing I will be making for my ex(when I get around to it). Don't remember the exact cost but it was less then you will pay for shipping on the warrior ones. All parts were bought at Tractor Supply.
