You only need 2 clamps. I put mine on the inside of the bracket. It doesn't have to be real strong, just enough to stop it sliding sideways. It doesn't have a real lot of force put on it sideways, but just the twisting motion of it makes it creep sideways.

Here is what is used on the factory BJ sway bar. not strong at all, just enough to stop it sliding.

i just had a look at my rear swar bar this morning and it seems that when i took my car to whiteline to be the guinea for the front sway bar, they replaced the stock clamps with the ones which u can get from bunnings!!!

All you BJ2 owners with front and rear setup, which setting do u guys currently have on the rear bar?mines still in the middle slot.
