Bent Axle Sway Bar Mount? Pics
Just took off my AEV sway bar link extension brackets so I can weld C-gussets on (they won't work together). I opted for JKS Quick Discos which worked great. However I noticed that my lower axle sway bar link mount looks twisted. The aev brackets really made the link crooked for the last 3 months Ive had them on (I really hate these brackets ), only wheeled once with them on. Should I try to bend this back straight or will it weaken the link? Should I just leave it be? Thoughts on this.

I would think you could bend them back with as little as they are twisted. if you are welding C gussets are you able to cut them off and re-weld them on straight?

I have this same problem except my tab was bent way worse. My 2.5" RK Max Travel looks like it over extended and ended up flipping the swaybar. I have to take it apart tonight and hope I can bend it back close to stock (I'm not sure how i'm going to be able to do that to 3/8" steel...
