Fixing The Gladiator Design Flaw – TeraFlex Rear Sway Bar

Kerry Garrison, October 28, 2025October 28, 2025

f you’ve spent any time off-roading your Jeep Gladiator (JT), you’ve probably run into (or heard about) the rear sway bar issue. The factory design just doesn’t hold up once you start flexing your suspension on moderate to hard trails — it’s way too easy to bend or break the rear sway bar links.

In this video, we take a closer look at the OEM design flaw, explain why it fails, and show you the simple upgrade that permanently solves the problem — the TeraFlex JT Rear Sway Bar Kit.

* We’ll cover everything from start to finish:
* What’s wrong with the stock rear sway bar setup
* Step-by-step installation of the TeraFlex kit
* RTI ramp testing to measure articulation and clearance gains
* Real-world trail testing to see how it performs off-road

If you love Jeep Gladiator upgrades, suspension mods, and real off-road testing, this one’s for you. By the end, you’ll see exactly why this kit should be on every JT owner’s must-do list.
