Default Loose sway Bar

I have always had a clanging banging noise when i was off roading or just hitting pot holes on my front end since the birth of my minivan, and i told myself it was a jeep and not till today i had a friend shake my jeep and i discovered that both sway bar mounts were loose as a whore.. i was quick to tighten and problem solved...Anyone else have this issue..

No issue here, you could put some locktite on there

I did when I installed a skid to replace the air dam

You didn't mention it, but did you use some Loctite going back together? I would have.

I thought tighten every bolt was a monthly thing to do on a Jeep.
