Hi,
After studying the Jeep Wrangler front quick disconnect front sway bar link, I did research and see that various kits are available for Jeeps.
On the Astro front sway bar is large diameter about 1 1/8" . The idea of off roading with the sway bar disconnected is to let the front suspension have more articulation. But, off road speeds are slow, remember to re connect sway bar for safe use on the road at highway speeds.'
The Astro uses the typical sway bar end link that is like about a 6" bolt connecting the sway bar to the control arm with rubber isolation bushings.
The typical fast release set up uses a quick release pin to allow the link to be quickly dis connected with out wrenches.
A quick look around Pic n pull revealed some potential solutions.
1997 Ford Ranger front sway bar link is a good choice since it has eyes on both ends.' On Astro remove links. Then the next idea is to bolt U shape fittings to sway bar and to control arm. Then the Eye to eye link is attached to the U fittings with 3/8" quick pins.
I will draw a sketch and take some photos.'
Also, the old 1993 Ford Exploer uses eye to eye links
