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. My sway bar was acting up once again, so I decided it was time to replace the “Smart Bar” with a conventional swaybar from a non-Rubicon Wrangler.
A manual bar isn’t the only option. EVO Manufacturing does make a really good manual option. It elliminates the actuator motor which is where the major electrical problems can occur. That being said, you stil have to maintain the slide mechanism inside the Smartbar so this wasn’t really an appealing option to me. Checkout their MANUAL RUBICON SWAYBAR DISCONNECT here:
