Rear Sway Bolt Hits Frame

[Curcurt]

Just had my 21 JLUR on Metal Cloak's CTI trailer and found my rear sway bar bolt treads hitting the frame. The CTI people said they have seen this before on JL's and one solution was to cut the threads off behind the nut. Has anyone else dealt with this or found a fix?

Yep, that is being addressed already.

I had this happen with my JK. Took it on an inaugural drive. Squeak squeak, clunk. WTF. Get back home and found the bolt hit the frame like you are talking about.

Took out the Sawzall and cut the bolt right after the nut (blue loctite on the nut). Never another issue, no squeaks or clunks.

I run a 3.5 Gamechanger with 6pak shocks and ran into the same issue. First thing I did was make sure my axle was centered as it was making slightly more contact on the drivers side. Next I added one more bump stop. Finally I cut and filed the threads on the upper link. I have been on some flexy trails since doing that and the contact has stopped. These Meatalcoak suspension’s really allow a lot of flex.
