Teraflex sway bar disconnects for the XJ and the ZJ come with the components listed
above. Do not use these sway bar disconnects with only one side
connected! Doing so will void any warranty claims.
Quick disconnects should be greased at least every 3,000 miles. It is also a good idea to grease
after going through water and when the quick disconnects become difficult to move. Using a
lubricant, like WD-40, on the stainless studs will make moving the disconnect arms much
easier.

- Remove the stock sway bar links from the vehicle
- Identify the left and right quick disconnect. The bolt head will point away from the vehicle
in it's final position.
- Place the round spacer ring on the threaded bracket bolt
- Once the assembly has been inserted into place, make sure that the grease zerk point downward,
away from the vehicle.
- Add the flat washer and nut and secure
|
|
- Attach the sway bar connecting stud to the lower mount bracket by inserting the stainless
steel stud in the hole vacated by the sway bar arm and secure with lock washer and
nut. Make sure the threaded portion of the stud points sway from the vehicle.

Use the pin for leverage when tightening the nut with a 3/4" wrench

- Attach the sway bar arm by sliding the polyurethane bushing onto the lower stainless steel
stud. The use of a lubricant, such as WD-40, will help make this easier.
- Secure the quick disconnect by placing the washer on the side opposite the bolt and insert the
pin into the stud
The photo on the right illustrates how the front axle will shift
towards the drivers side when the suspension is fully extended by a hoist. You may wish
to connect the components with the vehicle on the ground.
