Disconnecting Stabilizer Bar

DISCONNECTING STABILIZER BAR





WARNING: The disconnecting stabilizer bar unit (2) is not serviced separately from the bar (4). Do not disassemble this unit (2) from the stabilizer bar (4).

NOTE: The stabilizer links (5), stabilizer bar retainers/ bushings (3) and the stabilizer bar as a complete unit (4) only are serviceable. The new bar (4) consists of the disconnecting unit (2) and electronic actuator (1) attached as an assembly to the bar (4).

NOTE: When replacing the disconnecting stabilizer bar with a new bar you must use a scan tool to program the new stabilizer bar to the vehicle.

This system allows greater front suspension travel in off-road situations. It consists of a disconnecting unit (2), electronic actuator (1), stabilizer bar (4), stabilizer bar mounting retainers (3), stabilizer links (5) and a anti-rotational bracket (6) connected to the stabilizer bar retainer (3).






The electronic disconnecting stabilizer bar is operated by a combined transfer case and disconnecting stabilizer switch on the dash: The 2 mode positions are: On-Road mode (1), and Off-Road mode (2). The electronic disconnecting stabilizer bar is designed to be driven in On-Road mode (1) (indicated by a solid on-road mode light) for normal street and highway conditions (dry hard surfaced roads).


To service the switch, remove the Instrument panel center bezel.
