Front Swaybar Links Causing Frame Rubbing

JK_Dave

Caught the Bug
Wanted to get some feedback on my swaybar links that seem to be causing some serious rubbing issues against the frame. What's the general recommendation here? Should I replace these links with shorter ones to bring the swaybar more horizontal to the ground? Should I just grind down this spot on the frame and not worry about it?

The damage you see here was from a recent trip to Rausch Creek, not from daily driving.

View from the driver's side. Swaybar links measure out 12" post-to-post (identical length as the rears)

Not sure there's a whole lot you can do other than grind down the tube a bit on both sides or install shorter links as you have mentioned. :thinking: On the other hand, the sway bar is doing a nice job of clearancing the frame on its own. :yup:
 
that's not uncommon after lifting Trim/grind it down just don't get into the weld and you're good to go.
