1st picture are the links. Those bushings are fixed. So to do the CHF you have to swap it side to side.

That is the “z” bracket
I don’t recall having to swap the brackets. But then again, I don’t remember what I had for dinner 3 nights ago either!

Yes, I didn’t swap the links either. Just removed each a bracket and turned them 180 degrees. But maybe newer ones are different.

You have to have both sides disconnected at the same time. The entire sway bar rotates in the bushings. The only time there is stress on the sway bar is when the two sides do not move in unison; i.e. when one side goes up or down independently of the other side.

So I installed my Sumo springs in the front and what a difference in body roll. There is still some but not as bad and def worth the money.

Does any one know what the specs on the SAFE T steering stabilizer or Roadmaster RSSA reflex stabilizer Collapsed or extended length?

I bought the Roadmaster bracket and installed it. I tried using The Monroe 66502 steering stabilizer and it didnt work extended but worked great when collapsed.

The Monroe 66502 Magnum Steering Damper is NOT a steering stabilizer.

What is your definition of Steering Damper?

This item is used in larger equipment.

From there website "Monroe has developed the Gas-Magnum Spring-Over Steering Stabilizer. "

Waiting on parts from the installer

Can I drive my 24.1 Axis safely with a bungied-up rear sway bar? Weather is great and I am itching to go. Trip wouldn't be more then 100 miles.

I would put a long bolt and nut before i put a bungee. What happened to the part?

You could just take it off all together.
