One of the reasons I bought the Rubicon package in 2012, when I was in the market for a Jeep, was the electrinic swaybar disconnect. But as with most vehicles, these luxury items often fail. This was the case a couple weeks ago after an adventure to limestone mountain. My swaybar light was blinking and the system was stuck in the unlocked position.
Rubi was a bit of a handfull to drive on the street; I had the foresight to put my Falcon 3.3 shocks into the #3 (Firm) setting for the drive home and it was fine. The next day I took my swaybar assembly out and had a decission to make:
- Replace it with a conventional swaybar, take Rubi to the dealer to have the idiot light reprogrammed
- or Find out what broke and fix the electronic unit.
I opted to stick with the electronic system and diagnose the issue.
