Description
Ditch the Failing Electric Swaybar — Go Manual
The factory electric swaybar disconnect on Jeep JK Rubicon models is convenient — until it shorts out, fails, or refuses to re-engage. The iFJF Manual Swaybar Disconnect (1087) replaces the problematic electric unit with a simple, bulletproof manual alternative that works every time, in any gear, on any terrain.

Why Upgrade?
The Rubicon's electric swaybar disconnect is notorious for failure: motor burnout from water immersion, CANbus errors causing warning lights, and failure to reconnect on uneven terrain. The manual 1087 unit eliminates all these problems.

- Remove factory swaybar disconnect motor assembly
- Install iFJF 1087 manual unit in its place using factory bolts
- Connect the manual dial — test operation before reassembly
- Reinstall skid plate and reconnect battery
