    Looks like I bent one of my sway bar links. Any recommendations on after market ones I should replace them with or do you recommend me sticking with OEM?

    Can I keep driving it with the bent link until I get replacement?

    Bent it offroading? I have actually only seen a bent one, one time. Take the sway bar off and go easy for a while and see if you like it more. I stopped running one years ago and never looked back. Every customer of mine that has removed theirs has done the same.

    OEM part failed, no reason to repeat the mistake. Just get aftermarket: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1831922&cc=1431544&pt=7580

    It's greaseable and has wrench flats for easy removal later on.

    What's a sway bar? Yank it off and throw it in the bin. :thumbsup:
