schardein Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Was doing some parts research and became curious. Rockauto lists two different sway bar link lengths: 7 1/4" long one used to 5/20/91 8 1/4" long one used after 5/20/91 My Cherokee has a build date of Mar 1991. It has the longer links, but they have blue bushings and I suspect they were replaced at some point. My Comanche has a build date of Oct 1990. It has the shorter links and I bet they are original. Does anyone know why/what changed? Did they change the axle mounting point? I don't have a later axle to compare. Seems to me one could be 4wd, other 2wd, but there is no mention of that at all in the parts listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Maybe the Chrysler engineers finally realized they could achieve the most suspension travel and flex possible w/o binding at a ~10*-15* angle above horizontal and modified the links accordingly. My guess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Ok, now I'm curious what the angles are with each of the two different links. Another item for the to do list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
