Reviews for Steer Smarts 74009001 YETI XD Front Sway Bar End Link Kit for 07-23 Jeep Wrangler JK, JL & Gladiator JT

My swaybar links that came with the AEV 2" spacer lift kept coming loose. No matter what I did I had to frequently tighten them down. I decided to give these a shot and I am so glad I did! These things are awesome! I have done some light off roading and traveled across serval states and these Steer Smart links have performed great.

I have a '16 JKU Rubicon with the Mopar 2" lift. My sway bar links were in crappy shape and clinking around, so I decided to try these. I wanted something that will last forever. These end links are massive and a huge upgrade! Comparing these to stock is laughable. They've improved performance on the road considerably.

After installing these, I've decided that I'm going to upgrade my Jeep with Steersmarts tie rod, drag link, and track bar.

Just installed on my '18 JLUR with factory 2" lift. Super easy install with 2 exceptions (except these parts, my steering parts are completely stock). 1- one of the metal sleeves was slightly out of round and didnt want to go into the any of the link bushing holes or let any of the provided bolts go thru (fyi, my kit came with 4 sets of bolt mounts not just 2 as others have said). I was able to squeeze the sleeve in a vise to "round up" the sleeve and it worked perfectly. #2- As I said my jeep is basically stock on the front end and on the lower passenger side there are 2 mount brackets (outer and inner) for the link to mount up. It was too narrow for the link to slide into so I had to take a pry bar and spread the mount open some to make it go in. These puppies are beasts compared to stock. No difference yet in the actual driving performance. I will update if I have any news. I guess the one take away is, check your suspension parts! i do off-road, but not way crazy, but be sure they are tight! I've only got 18K on mine and I'm sure if I would have checked regularly, I would have seen the nut backing off. Not that this fixes that, but I will pay more attention to it now.

These are just ok, upgrade vs stock but not the best thing since sliced bread. After having on for about 3 months, it does appear that rust or some other slight oxidation may be happening around the bushing. If so, that is unacceptable for a new product. The instructions have you re-using your bottom bolts, but new packaging includes new ones. Just set those aside, because the sizes are different and they do not fit if you try using their bolts. The bolts-bushing can be very snug and do not simply push through, I hand to use a wrench to get them in. Not a huge deal, but adds a lot more time to what should be a simple swap. For the price and looks, these are 5 stars and match my other Steer Smarts components for a good appearance. Depending on that rust, I may or may not recommend. Not disappointed with the purchase, but definitely does not knock it out the park like their track bar at least.
