Swaybar Disconnects w/ Bushings?
Okay so I'm getting tired of my JKS discos. They are nice but in cold weather the grease gets hard, then I知 getting metal on metal action. No matter how often I grease up, just keeps coming back. Anyone else run into this? Not liking this... so I知 considering replacing with a Disco with Bushings. Looking for something that doesn稚 require grease and is nice and quiet. I'm just tired of the high maint JKS discos. Teraflex looks like they have a nice setup, anyone use em? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I haven't had any issues with my jks discos other than they do get messy from the grease. I've removed and installed them in the extreme cold too, didn't seem to affect anything.

In my opinion JKS are king. They are simple, strong and do what they are intended to.
Teraflex, Rock Krawler, Synergy or Rough Country might be more to your liking.

yeah they are nice, but they clank when the merc drops below freezing. maybe im using the wrong grease? 
i can lube em up but it just does it again. thats why i believe the bushings to be superior over the JKS design. plus like mentioned above they get really messy too, wich is always a nice treat. its just annoying to get the grease gun out every time before a trip, and if you have ever tried greasing them below freezing, it just sucks and hardly works well.
anyone have this issue or is it just me? maybe i've got something else going on...

mine did it for awhile, i actually drove around w none on for about a week or so bec i didnt feel like re greasing them and putting them back on. but i just kept putting more and more grease in them and now they seem to be holding up. the bolts on mine would come loose as well for sum odd reason but like i said after redoing them like 2 times they are quiet and no problems.

I bought the rough country disconnects for $50. Definitely the best price for these. I started out with the $5 grade 8 hardware but wasn't a long term solution. The rough country doesn't require grease, so definitely check them out.

Just curious, why not a long term solution?
